"Soft Skills" - Let's Get Specific! (Individual Contributor)
45 minutes
The importance of personal skills in hiring is always mentioned but rarely defined. Building on recent interviews with over 50 life science professionals, two sets of panelists will engage in robust and rigorous discussions of the non-technical attributes necessary for success – and which are commonly found lacking. To dive deeper into specific skill sets, one panel will focus on which skills are essential for senior leadership, the other on which skills to look for and develop in individual contributors.
