“Sadly, though its history in systems engineering is today unknown by most, the loaded term of “soft skills” remains, implying to many such skills are not as critical, important, or necessary, that they’re “not masculine,” or “not scientific,” or “not pertinent to the bottom line.”
All false and costly.
Maybe it’s time we just stopped using the term.”
