When someone states ??leadership skills are soft skills and cannot be measured in terms of dollars?? as I've heard people state before, it only proves that they are unaware of how the ?40? leadership skills play a significant role in the ?bottom-line? profitability of a company. That's okay though, we can change that.

Wow! See how that works. I write sales copy all the time to generate bottom-line profit dollars for companies.
