How will we break free?

How will we break free?

There is an old story told..
A passer-by sees a big elephant with a short rope around its leg tied to a small peg.
The trainer explains to the man that the elephant has become conditioned and has learnt that it can’t break free from chain. As a young elephant, every time it struggled to break free from the rope, it would hurt its leg.
Now even as a grown up elephant tied on the same rope, it does not dare break free.
What have we learnt to give up without trying?
How can we avoid it?

These are · - Complex Problem Solving · - Critical Thinking · - Creativity · - People Management · - Coordinating with Others · - Emotional Intelligence · - Judgment and Decision Making · - Service Orientation · - Negotiation · - Cognitive Flexibility

As a prospective employee, it is our job to learn and enhance the soft skills continuously as well as demonstrate relevant skills in our resume and during the interview to increase our success rate in the interview process.
