Soft skills have their place, all determined by context. However, soft skills allow for a more open minded result as it creates a different perception to communication.

Lets look at examples....

1. If one is a good listener, there is a more likelhood that communications is much easier. 

2. Taking softly removes emoptions out of the discussion.

3. Staying calm removes emotions and allows for a greater focus on what is been communicated.

 

Trust these examples provide clarity.

It depends on interaction levels, Zain.

If you deal with devices like a switch, any kind of binary one-off/right-wrong/yes-no/black-white/one-zero approach is appropriate :)

Alternatively, you may apply this amongst humans. But, in restricted and well identified circumstances (i.e. war & armed conflict zones, emergency, disasters, military ops and related ones).   

Out of these, soft skills are the sole possibility to exchange info effectively (or, to put it better, affectively ;) !
