Soft skills for IT pros
It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in — great communication can make or break any team.
How to become a better listener
Without strong listening skills, leaders run the risk of having projects unravel, which eventually becomes a breakdown of the core team. Here are five ways to be an excellent listener and help your team deliver results on-time and under budget.
Creating a mentorship program
Great leaders are built, not born. Creating a strong mentorship program means nurturing employees so they can develop knowledge and skills from seasoned pros — skills that enable them to do their jobs better (and stick around for longer). Learn how to mentor key staff who have invaluable institutional knowledge and mold them into more effective employees who are less likely to leave.
Soft skills every hiring manager should look for
Soft skills are a crucial bridge between technical and non-technical teams. Skills like communication and teamwork help teams work together more effectively, drive projects forward, and improve the customer experience. Make sure new hires can do both and avoid the pitfalls of poor communication that impact revenue and production: fuzzy expectations, unclear instructions, and misaligned decision-making.
Keep up on the latest technologies
Leading a successful team means staying on top of the latest IT training. Upskill your staff with courses covering networking, cloud, project management, security, data analysis, engineering, business skills for IT, and more.
