'Do you really know what your employee brings to the workplace? Oh, you may know that they have the knowledge and skills needed to get the job done in an effective and efficient manner. But, do you know the “soft” skills or attributes they bring that could be just as important as the “hard” skills they offer. What are competencies?

They are the best coaches in the world because they are brilliant at leading their teams to success.

Have you ever offered your boss feedback? OK, let me rephrase that. Have you ever offered your boss feedback and lived to tell the tale? It’s not easy to talk to a boss about why you believe she bombed with a client or how she could improve her communication style. It could be that you get the message loud and clear that the boss doesn’t want your opinion, or it could be that you’re afraid offering feedback could jeopardize your own job.
