Resumen
Este artículo propone las Seis Gestalts como marco sistémico que reformula las habilidades duras y blandas en roles cognitivos para crecimiento profesional. En el núcleo está el Problem-Solver, razonamiento preventivo-adaptativo que actúa como columna dorsal y convierte necesidades en soluciones. Lo complementan Maverick, Specialist, Architect, Shark y Connector, que integran lo duro y lo blando para colaborar eficazmente. El marco opera a varios niveles (equipos, procesos y grupos interfuncionales) y, basado en décadas de mentoría y docencia, desplaza el foco de los silos de habilidades hacia la integración de roles, preparando a personas y organizaciones para sistemas complejos y cambiantes.
Palabras clave:
Educación, habilidades duras y blandas, aprendizaje holístico, pensamiento crítico, resolución de problemas
