We are in constant awe of the brilliant minds that produce the most amazing technology, architecture, agricultural, medical breakthroughs, and machines that make our world what it is today, as well as what the future will be. But does STEM skills mean that you have great leadership ability? The fact is that STEM skills and Leadership skills are not the same. If it were, we would not be seeing global leadership failing at a rate of 75%, concerns with employee retention, toxic cultures, and toxic bosses.

Just like STEM skills, the ability to  be a versatile and effective leader must be learned. In the 20th CEO Survey conducted by PwC, over 8,000 global CEOs stated that today's skills battle grounds are the soft skills such as leadership, collaboration, emotional intelligence and adaptability. The least in demand – STEM skills. Simply put, there is no shortage of people with STEM skills, but there is a serious global leadership pipeline shortage.

Rich and Maikel discuss the importance of leadership skills in conjunction with STEM skills on today's episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
