TeamFlow - Team-based Process Mapping and Flowcharting Software The Gabriel Institute – A new Technology of Teaming™ In 1984, two behavioral scientists – Dr. Janice Presser and Dr. Jack Gerber – set out to find an answer to the question "What really happens when people 'team' together?" Twenty-five years of research and testing, including nine years of software development, produced a technology engineered to identify and organize the ways in which people interact in teams. This completely new 'technology of teaming' is not derived from personality or IQ testing, from EQ, strengths, or engagement surveys, or from any other familiar tools or methods. During the course of its development, Drs. This new way to know about teaming behavior was initially referred to as Role‐Based Assessment (RBA). A most important aspect of Teamability is that it produces measurable business value. The Gabriel Institute was founded in 2001 to complete the evolution of the technology of teaming.

Soft Skills | Working Centre Soft skills versus hard skills In many countries your qualifications and skills (hard skills) are the most important thing to finding work. In the Canadian labour market soft skills (communication [written, oral, non-verbal], interpersonal and presentation skills) are more often the determining factor in you finding work. The hard-skills will show your ability to do the job whereas the your soft-skills will show potential employers that you will be a good fit working with the existing team and communicating with customers. While we don’t want to diminish hard skills we do want to bring forward the importance of soft skills in the job-search and in doing the job. Changing our perspectives together – our hope for exchange rather than integration There are two schools of thought on improving understanding of cultural influences on communication in the workplace. Both strategies must be employed to create an atmosphere of cultural exchange and understanding.
Soft skills Soft skills is a term often associated with a person's "EQ" (Emotional Intelligence Quotient), the cluster of personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism that characterize relationships with other people.[1] Soft skills complement hard skills which are the occupational requirements of a job and many other activities. They are related to feelings, emotions, insights and (some would say) an 'inner knowing': i.e. they provide an important complement to 'hard skills' and IQ. Soft skills are personal attributes that enhance an individual's interactions, job performance and career prospects. A person's soft skill EQ is an important part of their individual contribution to the success of an organization. It has been suggested that in a number of professions, soft skills may be more important over the long term than occupational skills. Soft Skills are behavioral competencies.
