In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Brad Mahon, the Dean of the Faculty of Continuing Education at Mount Royal University. Diana and Brad begin by questioning the use of the word soft in soft skills and whether another word to describe these skills is even necessary. They also discuss how people leaders can use the relationship between empathy and authority to make their conversations as impactful and comprehensive as they can be. Lastly, they talk about the significance of every person’s role on a team and how each of these roles is an interconnected and interdependent part of the whole team.
