In his book,?Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things, organizational psychologist and New York Times Bestselling author, Adam Grant, talks about the importance of prosocial skills in the workplace. Grant writes, “Prosocial skills are the glue that transforms groups into teams.” Grant even goes on to assert that we should choose leaders with prosocial skills. He says, “…elevate people who put the mission above their ego – and prioritize team cohesion over personal glory. When teams are eager to contribute, the most effective leader is not the loudest talker, but the best listener.” I think prosocial skills and prosocial behavior are unique skills that Force Multipliers, Executive Business Partners, and Chiefs of Staff tend to possess (or at the very least, they acknowledge and cultivate). And if you haven’t mastered prosocial skills yet, the good news is that they can be learned! Prosocial skills fall into the “soft skills” category, but, today,?soft skills are more important than ever. They will not only be the skills and behaviors that set you apart, but what propels your career and organization to success, especially amidst emerging tech and advanced AI world that still desperately needs a?human-centric leadership approach.
