Welcome to "The Job is Easy, The People are Not" podcast!

"The job is easy, the people are not! 10 SMART SKILLS to become better people" is the recent book published by Prof. Loredana Padurean in collaboration with a dozen of contributors from MIT Sloan and Asia School of Business.  Professor Loredana Padurean shares in 10 candid and authentic interviews, with professional managers and academic leaders from Asia School of Business and MIT Sloan, 10 essential skills that she coined as “smart” skills, (to replace the “soft” skills), such as validation, emotional maturity, followership, cognitive readiness and more. In the 10 interviews, you will hear how “regular” people navigate the complex waters of working with others, will get practical suggestions about how to develop your own smart skills, and realize that you are also one of the people that makes the job harder than it should be! This podcast is the 10 interviews with all her SMART co-authors! Enjoy and let us know, what do you excel in when it comes to SMART skills? What do you need to work on? And how can we help?
