Learning business fundamentals like accounting, finance, and marketing is important. However, there are vital \u201csoft\u201d skills that every leader needs to be successful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Emotional Intelligence<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Great managers need both analytical and emotional skills. What they don\u2019t teach you in business school is that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbescoachescouncil\/2019\/06\/03\/the-value-of-emotional-intelligence-for-leaders\/?sh=36ecfe00156d\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">71% of employers value emotional intelligence in an employee over a high IQ.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Leaders with emotional intelligence are able to manage their own emotions, communicate effectively, and understand the feelings and psychological states of others. These skills help leaders make better decisions, resolve conflicts in the workplace and foster a positive work environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Change Management<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Change is inevitable in any successful business. A degree may prepare you to recognize the need for change and determine a course of action. However, what they don\u2019t teach you in business school is how to prepare your team. Because of this, about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/leadership\/changing-change-management\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">70% of all change initiatives fail.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Managers play a critical role in the change process. During times of change, leaders must recognize the impact changes have on their team, identify resistance to change and effectively address that resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to Influence and Inspire Others<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most important skills a leader can have is the ability to influence and inspire others. Developing skills in strategic storytelling, enhancing leadership presence, and overcoming objections to align teams toward a common goal will accelerate the success of any leader. Some people mistake these skills for personality traits. However, anyone can learn strategies and behaviors that will increase their ability to influence others and inspire teams to achieve success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to Manage a Diverse Workforce<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most important things you don\u2019t learn in business school is how to manage different personality styles across multiple generations and personal backgrounds. Today\u2019s leaders must be aware of unconscious biases and how they affect team performance. They will also need the skills to navigate the complexity of managing employees from four very different generations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do Your Managers Need to Develop Skills They Don\u2019t Teach in Business School?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lifelong learning benefits every leader. If your team lacks these essential leadership skills, you may consider enrolling them in Crestcom\u2019s interactive management training program. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/crestcom.com\/training-programs\/bullet-proof-manager\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crestcom\u2019s 12-month format<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> creates a deep understanding of management skills, produces positive and lasting change, and connects with other professionals to share ideas and perspectives. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While earning an MBA can be of immense value, there are important management skills they don\u2019t teach you in business school!
