Track records of previous teams they managed to hit their goals, level of expertise, years of experience, and\u00a0the like<\/p>\n<p>This is, of course, a reasonable strategy\u2014but it doesn\u2019t allow you to see the whole picture.<\/p>\n<p>How about their soft skills?\u00a0For example, their ability to empathize, to coach and mentor, to resolve conflicts? Soft skills are becoming more and more crucial in the workplace, and a successful and inspiring manager must be proficient in them.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll dive into the specific soft skills you should be helping your managers to ace\u2014and why it\u2019s important to invest in this specific type of management training.<\/p>\n<h2>Why soft skills matter<\/h2>\n<p>Soft skills can <strong>make the difference between a manager and a <em>great<\/em> manager<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/employers-find-soft-skills-like-critical-thinking-in-short-supply-1472549400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wall Street Journal survey<\/a> found that for 92% of companies, soft skills matter as much or more than hard skills. It makes sense: technological advancements happen faster than ever. And while hard skills will always be needed, being proficient in soft skills means you can navigate change easier. And, as a manager,\u00a0you&#8217;ll be able to guide others through changing times as well. In fact, based on a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/business.linkedin.com\/content\/dam\/me\/business\/en-us\/talent-solutions\/resources\/pdfs\/global-talent-trends-2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn Global Talent Trends report<\/a>, when a hire doesn\u2019t work out, it usually comes down to a lack of soft skills, 89% of recruiters say.<\/p>\n<p>With remote and hybrid workplaces becoming more and more the norm, managers need to be more people savvy than ever\u2014or risk alienating and disengaging half their team. Soft skills training can help them, and your company, to prevent that.<\/p>\n<h2>Can soft skills be trained?<\/h2>\n<p>The problem with soft skills is that they\u2019re a bit invisible. In contrast to hard, technical skills which can easily be measured or observed, soft skills assessment is more tricky.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s one of the reasons why some people argue that soft skills can\u2019t be trained. The other is rooted in the belief that soft skills are more like personality traits: either you got them, or you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s simply not true.<\/p>\n<p>Soft skills are skills, and as such, they <em>can<\/em> be taught. The only thing that can get in the way of learning new soft skills, or expanding and leveling up one\u2019s existing ones, is an unwillingness to learn. Soft skills training requires the learner to let go of any preconceived notions and be open and motivated to receive said training.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not true that you can\u2019t assess soft skills either. You just need to tweak your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2020\/09\/creative-ways-test-practical-skills-corporate-elearning.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">assessment strategy<\/a>. For example, instead of formal assessments at the end of the full course, you can offer your learners the opportunity to self-reflect, evaluate their own performance or do end-of-module online quizzes that will allow them to use their newfound soft skills.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8258 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/eFront_20220808_1200x314.png\" alt=\"6 soft skills to include in your management training program | eFront\" width=\"1200\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/eFront_20220808_1200x314.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/eFront_20220808_1200x314-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/eFront_20220808_1200x314-768x201.png 768w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/eFront_20220808_1200x314-1024x268.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/eFront_20220808_1200x314-810x212.png 810w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/eFront_20220808_1200x314-1140x298.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>6 soft skills to train your managers on<\/h2>\n<p>So now that it\u2019s clear that soft skills matter\u2014and that are teachable\u2014what are the specific skills you should be looking at when building your management training strategy?<\/p>\n<h3>1. Agility and change management<\/h3>\n<p>Agility is a very valuable soft skill to have nowadays\u2014for all employees, but even more so for managers. LinkedIn calls it \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/agility-curiosity-essential-soft-skills-teams-stephen-scott-johnson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the essential soft skill for teams<\/a>,\u201d and for good reason: being able to move quickly and decisively in the face of change can make all the difference. Especially now, post-COVID, when the world has changed so much, and keeps changing.<\/p>\n<p>Offering your managers agility and change management training, will ensure that they\u00a0benefit from opportunities as these present themselves, without panicking and leading their teams toward the wrong path.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Coaching and mentoring<\/h3>\n<p>Coaching and mentoring are integral skills for any team leader\u2014but the rise of hybrid work has brought forth new complications when it comes to mastering them.<\/p>\n<p>From being able to establish trust with mentees even without IRL interaction to successfully steering team members towards the right decisions for their career advancement, a great manager and leader should also be a good mentor.<\/p>\n<p>Teachable moments exist in the day-to-day, and with coaching and mentoring training, a manager can identify them and use them.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Conflict resolution<\/h3>\n<p>Another skill that\u2019s becoming even more pertinent now with the rise of hybrid work.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to resolve conflicts and diffuse tension successfully is crucial for a manager, particularly when all or half of their team works remotely. With more tension and misunderstandings arising due to asynchronous communication and lack of context, <strong>being able to navigate stressful situations<\/strong> and ensure everyone is satisfied, can make the difference between a team hitting its goals or falling apart at the seams.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Empathy and cultural intelligence<\/h3>\n<p>On the flip side of conflict resolution (or rather, expanding on it), empathy is one of the most valuable skills for managers and leaders to have. Connecting with their team on an emotional level is how they solve conflicts, but also how they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2021\/01\/leadership-training.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inspire employees<\/a> and make them feel seen and understood.<\/p>\n<p>This becomes especially important the more culturally diverse a team (and a business) is. With remote work eliminating entrance barriers to foreign talent and a commitment to DEI becoming more inherent to the mission of more companies, many managers will have to lead multi-cultural teams, perhaps for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to read emotions across a varied group of people, each of whom may have different ways of expressing themselves based on their background, is crucial for every good manager. And a must-have for your management training program.<\/p>\n<p>A higher cultural intelligence also means managers can help team members <strong>overcome unconscious biases<\/strong> and work better together.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Giving constructive feedback<\/h3>\n<p>Giving feedback is something every manager has to do often\u2014but not necessarily something every manager does well.<\/p>\n<p>Frequent, constructive feedback seems to be key to establishing trust in the workplace. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/393401\/trust-decline-rebuild.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gallup research<\/a> shows that employees who receive feedback from their manager daily are 2.1 times as likely to strongly agree that they trust the leadership of their organization.<\/p>\n<p>Yet there\u2019s helpful feedback and less helpful feedback\u2014and teaching them how to provide the former and avoid the latter should definitely be a part of management training. If the feedback is not balanced and actionable, it can affect employee performance, trust, and engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, like every other soft skill, the art of appropriate feedback can be taught.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Team building and collaboration<\/h3>\n<p>It may sound like getting all the previous soft skills training should be enough for a manager to steer their team towards a better, more fruitful collaboration. But team building is not just about work: it\u2019s about relationships between employees, strengthening company culture, and creating an environment where people feel included.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not surprising to consider that this may be even more timely now. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/blog\/survey-says-professionals-want-workplace-community\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Glassdoor survey<\/a> showed that 48% of employees have felt isolated from coworkers during the COVID-19 pandemic and that lack of in-person connection made 42% of them feel like their career stalled. The same survey showed that over half (56%) of employees wish for a community where they could get career advice.<\/p>\n<p>Offering training for managers that hones soft skills such as team building, means you have people in charge who know how to make others feel welcome; how to create a community of like-minded peers.<\/p>\n<h2>Management training isn&#8217;t a one-off session<\/h2>\n<p>There is no magic button to push to make hiring for managerial positions easier. Even if you manage to bring onboard someone who demonstrates the desired soft skills, or decide to provide them with one soft skills training session, it won\u2019t be enough.<\/p>\n<p>You still need to evaluate your managers, gather feedback from their team members, identify areas for improvement, and have follow-up training sessions with them\u2014so that they can better lead their teams.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiring for a managerial role is not easy.
