One might think, due to the attitude of the new Presidential administration, that “soft” is out and a hard-nosed, in-your-face, get-it-done attitude is in. That’s not true when it comes to businesses seeking the best talent in a tightening labor market; soft skills are in high demand, but low supply.

Soft skills are not over hyped rather it is undervalued by most people. People only realize it's importance when they start working and climbing corporate ladders.
