About this Event
We can all agree that leadership has changed – the authoritarian replaced with the collaborator. Soft skills (or Power Skills as some would prefer to call them) dominate over the technical. World leaders such as NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Adern have actively campaigned on words like Kindness & Togetherness.
In this webinar we are joined by Author, Illustrator and self-confessed Day Dreamer Josh Langley to discuss whether these are skills are truly valuable or just fluff project and procurement professionals just dont need.
