Arthur,
Your statement is right on target. I have two program management trainees assigned to me now. I told them they needed to learn "soft skills" to be successful program managers and the learning started "right here and now". I used almost the same words you posted here. The four or five Friday morning "soft skills" sessions were taken very well--I was even asked by one last week if I would present more!
