If you Google "soft skills every employee needs," you'll get a dozen lists with a dozen different answers, half of them padded just to hit a target number (or to try to boost SEO specifically). In my experience actually training teams, three skills matter more than...

Have you ever gone grocery shopping hungry? You walk in with three items on your list. Twenty minutes later you're at the checkout with a cart full of stuff that "sounded good" at the time, and somewhere under the extra bar of soap and the impulse-buy snacks, your...
