 A great attitude, leadership ability, a collaborative spirit—these are all things that any company would be lucky to find in an employee. And yet, they won’t show up in a GPA, an aptitude score, or a code test. “Soft skills,” as they’re known, might be difficult to measure, but they’re incredibly i...

To me, the makings of a great workday are mostly intangible—a great conversation with a client, a productive work session, or maybe a chance to get some fresh air in the middle of the afternoon.
