do not depend on acquired knowledge: they include
common sense, the ability to deal with people, and a
positive flexible attitude.

 SO AS MENTIONED ABOVE THERE
ARE MANY ATTRIBUTES OF SOFT
SKILLS BUT AGAIN FOR A BRIEF
PRESENTATION MY PICK WOULD BE
PRESENTATION SKILLS
PERSUATION SKILLS
TEAM WORK SKILLS
 IMPORTANCE OF ABOVE
MENTIONED SILLKS
All the three above listed soft skills are in a
way unique in a way that is all the three
skills are totally involved in a every phase
of any work related to any team involved
sector and that quality of why those are
important are discussed in the next slides
 PRESENTATION SKILL
Every skill we talk about is not just a skill but
a art as well. Presentation is no different.
Presentation is a speech or talk in which a
new product, idea, or piece of work is shown
and explained to an audience.
So as the definition explains presentation is
given to express an idea of yours to the
world and the world can only see your idea
as you try to show it and thus presentation
becomes important
 IMPORTANCE OF
PRESENTATION
There is a lot running on your presentation
than you think it actually is and thats where
many people fail in their idea pitching
Your presentation not only depicts your idea
but also your confidence on that idea of yours
and also your interest and enthusiasm in its
execution and people evaluate your idea on
that basis
Thus presentation becomes your first and best
step to be taken with at most care for success
 PERSUASION SKILL
As said truly war is won by weapons now a
days and the war to win attention is only
possible by possessing the skill of
persuasions
Persuasion is a skill which is important to
be maintained in your presentation
Because your idea may not be one in one
lakh but the way you put it out is why
people will buy it from you and there
comes in the skill of persuasion
 IMPORTANCE OF THE SKILL
Persuasion is a skill that helps your idea to
propagate and gives you a team to work on
your idea with or nearly your enthusiasm
A person has an ability to persuade implies
that he or she can build a team with
enthusiasts and can lead them with their
voice on
The best part of this is that it only has
advantages and no disadvantages because
people never think negative about a good talker
 TEAM SKILLS
Team skill is not a single skill but a
combination of more than one skill so as to
become a good team player
Team skills include to be cooperative, to lead,
to be agreeable , to be supportive, and to be
collaborative
It is may be the hardest weapon in the arsenal
to acquire and master as it is a skill which
takes not only practice but also change of
attitude as if your attitude is not on bar then
you can never be a team player
 IMPORTANT SKILLS UNDER TEAM
SKILLS
As mentioned earlier team skill is not an
individual component skill but a mixture of
many the most important of them are
Leading skill
Managing skill
Adaptability
 LEADING SKILL
Leading does not mean bossing around in a
team and many confuse in between these
parameters
Leading is justifying the path of your team and
providing them with moral support along with
your team participation as a member yourself .
Leading a team is not as easy as we see
because as per the phycology of a normal
person only follows a ideal person and in
reality no one is ideal and the quality to be
nearly ideal is the hardest quality to attain
 MANAGING SKILL
After leading the management plays a
prominent role as management under takes
deadlines and supervision and here is where
bossing is some what allowed
The role of a manager is to execute the ideas
of the team into a assembly where time
management and other factors come into play
Thus in a team management skill is surely
great to possess and it is only a skill that
comes through experience and dedicated
work.
 ADAPTABILITY
Adaptability is one of the key skill every person
who wants to work in a team should possess
There is no exception for the skill because if
you want to be in a sync with the team and
help out for maximum output then you should
surely be able to adapt to the team and
conditions
If you are not adaptable then surely you
cannot be a efficient team member and you
surely lack the most important individual team
skill to possess
 So these mentioned above are only
few all the soft skills and they may
be called as a minimum skill set
required from different domains so as
to be a efficient team member
