Suuchi Interviews Mike Mortson on the State and Future of Supply Chain! (Podcast)

Important Soft Skills Every Employee Should Have!

When it comes to adding hard skills to your resume, it’s pretty self-explanatory. Hard skills, as opposed to soft skills, are technical, measurable, and usually either learned in a classroom or through on-the-job training. 

If you’re applying for a job and you add certain hard skills to your resume, the employer may be able to test you on these or verify that you’re proficient in other ways.

I first met Paul at Celestica.  He left to purse other interests but our paths crossed again later on.  I was at a company that had just implemented a new WMS system in the Distribution Centre.  The system cutover  was a disaster.  And the operation had been run without true Warehouse Management experience as well.  As I looked to recruit a new leader I was looking for a someone who could lead change.

I toured my final two candidates through the Distribution Centre, including Paul.  Their reactions would help me decide who to select.  The other person seemed overwhelmed and lost while looking at the mess in the warehouse.  It wasn’t clear what they would do.  Paul looked at the disastrous situation like a kid in a candy store.  He saw opportunity at every turn.  And instead of  being intimidated by the situation Paul was motivated and inspired.  I found my leader!
