Abstract: Soft Skills: Can the saying “one bad apple spoils the barrel” help stakeholders identify gaps in soft skills linked to teamwork? In the context of developing soft skills, different perceptions about career readiness exist between stakeholders, i.e., employers, college graduates and educators. This article discusses the use of a realistic workplace scenario, “bad apple” phenomenon about teamwork to authentically engage stakeholders in contemplating how to improve (transfer of learning) before business students graduate and seek employment. The author hopes this article will contribute to business literature related to bridging the gap between theory and practice.
