The 85-15 Rule of Success
A Harvard study showed that 85% of success is based on social skills, while only 15% is dependent on technical skills.
This principle highlights the vital importance of developing strong interpersonal skills. In order for students to thrive not just academically, socially, and future professional careers,
It’s essential to complement your Institution’s technical skills with essential social skills.
