The document discusses soft skills or people skills and how difficult they are to teach and reinforce compared to hard skills. It notes that people skills are learned from a very young age through observation and experimentation, becoming ingrained neural pathways. Introducing new people skills is extremely difficult as it requires replacing old patterns, which feels very awkward. For lasting change, new skills need frequent reinforcement over the long term to establish new pathways. Without reinforcement after training, people will likely revert to old comfortable patterns.

In our current business climate senior management is
demanding cost justification more than ever. In the world of
work, ―hard skills‖ are technical or administrative procedures
related to an organization’s core business. Examples
include machine operation, computer protocols, safety
standards, financial procedures and sales administration.
These skills are typically easy to observe, quantify and
measure. They’re also easy to train, because most of the
time the skill sets are brand new to the learner and no
unlearning is involved.

By contrast, ―soft skills‖ (also called ―people skills‖) are


typically hard to observe, quantify and measure. People
skills are needed for everyday life as much as they’re
needed for work. They have to do with how people relate to
each other: communicating, listening, engaging in dialogue,
giving feedback, cooperating as a team member, solving
problems, contributing in meetings and resolving conflict.
Leaders at all levels rely heavily on people skills, too: setting
an example, teambuilding, facilitating meetings, encouraging
innovation, solving problems, making decisions, planning,
delegating, observing, instructing, coaching, encouraging
and motivating.

Obviously, people come to organizations with interpersonal


behavior patterns already thoroughly ingrained, and they
weren’t learned in a classroom. Instead, individuals learn
how to deal with relationships and other life challenges ―on
the street‖ at a very early age. They observe how the people
around them do things, they experiment, and they stick with
what works for them. So everyone ends up with a unique
portfolio of people skills; some behaviors may be effective,
but others cause problems. By the time employees get to a
training room, they’ve already worked hard for decades to
reinforce the way they deal with people like all behavior
patterns; interpersonal skills are ―hard-wired‖ in the neuronal
pathways of the cerebral cortex.

The bottom line.


Introducing a new interpersonal skill is extremely difficult,
because it means replacing the old skill. The brain may be
an information processor, but it doesn’t work like a digital
computer. There is no ―delete‖ key for unwanted programs.
Behavior patterns are physically established at the brain cell
level. Any new pattern, even one that makes sense, even
one that is desired and expected, will seem extremely
awkward. The only way to replace an old pattern will be to
establish a new one that gets better results. If this new
pattern proves to be more satisfying than the old pattern,
and if there’s an adequate period of reinforcement, there’s a
chance that new connections will establish themselves. If
the new pathway is a superhighway, it can become the
preferred conduit, and over time even a familiar path
associated with lots of memories will eventually fall into
disuse.

Frequent reinforcement.

What an understanding of the brain teaches us about


learning is that the only thing that can create permanent
behavioral change is frequent reinforcement over the long
term. New Patters can be established if ongoing
encouragement, feedback & guidance is provided.

A Proven Solution is the top down approach. If


executives start by working on their own people skills, then
they can establish the right expectations and coach their
managers.

Ensuring success.

Without this reinforcement, however, the pathways will not


establish themselves, and most people will predictably fall
back on the old, comfortable patterns they grew up with.
Unfortunately, this disappointing scenario happens more
often than not. An organization invests heavily in a people
skills training program, no plan for reinforcement is in place,
and the intervention fails to have the hoped-for result. There
is virtually no return on the investment. The money is mostly
wasted.

This is why a program of lectures, group exercises and


handouts—even a week-long course personally conducted
by a world-famous celebrity author—cannot by itself provide
enough reinforcement to establish the new pathways
needed to change ingrained behavior patterns. Without
reinforcement, even people who want to change are likely to
return to their comfortable patterns, and so dysfunctional
behaviors remain the same. If this happens too often,
employees may come to feel cynical about people skills
programs.

People can learn how to work well together.

With an environment of support, encouragement and


reinforcement, an organization can achieve the desired
return on a considerable investment in people skills training.
But executives really have to want it to make the right kind
of investment. There’s no magic pill—no short cut. It’s like
losing weight. If you really want to keep the pounds off, you
have to establish new eating and exercise habits. If you
want lasting changes in your organization, you have to be
willing to pay the price.
