Developing Soft Skills and Personality. Instructor: Prof. T. Ravichandran, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Kanpur. The course aims to cause a basic awareness about the significance of soft skills in professional and interpersonal communications and facilitate an all-round development of personality. Hard or technical skills help securing a basic position in one's life and career. But only soft skills can ensure a person retain it, climb further, reach a pinnacle, achieve excellence, and derive fulfilment and supreme joy. Soft skills comprise pleasant and appealing personality traits as self-confidence, positive attitude, emotional intelligence, social grace, flexibility, friendliness and effective communication skills.

This lecture clearly differentiates between a good and a bad habit, but does so without moral/religious implications, and instead sees habits as an intrinsic aspect of any individual that make or mar her/his life, career, and relationships, and suggests practical ways of identifying good and bad habits.
