A new book, Soft Skills: How to See, Measure and Develop the Skills that Make us Uniquely Human, by a professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management aims to ‘change the soft skills game’ by introducing language, models, frameworks and tools for identifying and describing them, measuring the degree to which a person possesses them, selecting those who possess them in the utmost from those less skilled, and ways of helping students and executives alike develop them, through a methodology that has been designed and practiced for the past ten years. The book offers one of the first systematic analyses of the role of Large Language Models in both augmenting and automating human tasks in organizations and re-designing the workflow of teaching and learning in higher education and tackles head-on the distinction between quintessentially human and machine-replicable skills. Mihnea Moldoveanu, the Marcel Desautels Professor of Integrative Thinking at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, argues we need a ‘re-set’ in the way we think about human skill and in particular the ways we think about those human skills which cannot be sub-contracted to an algorithm running on silicon. This book aims to provide that re-set.
