Engineers and manufacturer need command on soft skills and right attitude for growth and success in personal, professional, married, and social life. The triangle of success for professionals also shows skills, attitude, and knowledge as main contributors of success in which knowledge has 15% contribution and rest of the 85% contribution is soft skills and right attitude. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Network of UK has researched and identified top 10 employability skills related to aforementioned 85% contributors of success. Global leadership experts of the leadership program YP2G in collaboration with Mind Fit Ltd UK and Pakistan Engineering Council has provided opportunity to me like all other young people of Pakistan to develop soft skills and attitude through 15 days online programme. The YP2G online programme helped me to assess my ability & attitude in five the most important STEM skills and took me to journey of improvement in these 85% contributors of success.
The primary role of management is changed from traditional commanding and order giving approach. Effective managers of 21st century perform their primary role of management as Facilitator, Coach, Advocate, Sponsor, and as team member. This change demands self-motivation skills, problem solving skills and communication/interpersonal skills to be successful. I achieved gold award in assessment of these skills, yet the actions-based challenges enabled me to interact with people, share their experience and have good knowledgeable discussions as a result of which I am more confident.
The command on soft skills obtained from this course helped me not only to develop my own right attitude but also helped me to understand the attitude of people I deal with. As while going through course I have looked out ten opportunities to increase awareness of other people under pressure along with the corrective actions to support these people.
Overall, this program equips oneself with all the required tools to take right decision at the right time in right direction in one’s personal, professional, married, and social life. I believe it can bring working culture of Pakistan on par with British and other developed countries counterparts.
