The New Power Skills (Make Your Humanity Your Greatest Professional Asset)

In an increasingly competitive and hyper-efficient professional world, traditional “soft skills” are no longer enough to stand out. However, as workplace norms evolve daily and change accelerates at unrecognizable speed, one thing remains constant and invaluable: the skill of developing strong professional relationships.

For seven years, Scott Jeffrey Miller hosted the world's largest weekly leadership podcast interviewing hundreds of business luminaries and when Miller asked nearly all of his twice-weekly podcast guests what skills they consider most important in current and future hires, their answers were nearly unanimous: emotional intelligence, communication, self-regulation, active listening, collaboration, conflict resolution, and other high-impact interpersonal abilities. Never were they technical, "hard skills" that seem to dominate in past decades.

Drawing from hundreds of candid interviews on and off the air, leadership and performance expert Scott Miller breaks down 30 critical “power skills” that will elevate your professional presence, renew your relevance, and set you apart in any industry.
