Soft skills, also known as power skills, common skills, essential skills, or core skills, are skills applicable to all professions.[1][2][3][4] These include critical thinking, problem solving, public speaking, professional writing, teamwork, digital literacy, leadership, professional attitude, work ethic, career management and intercultural fluency. This is in contrast to hard skills, which are specific to individual professions.[5][6][7]
The word "skill" highlights the practical function. The term alone has a broad meaning, and describes a particular ability to complete tasks ranging from easier ones like learning how to kick a ball[6] to harder ones like learning to be creative.[6] In this specific instance, the word "skill" has to be interpreted as the ability to master hardly controlled actions.
