Sentiment? Really? I bet the McKinsey consultants were feeling a little 'sentimental' when they came up with that one. Stick to the basics, people – Style, Staff, and Skills are where it's at!

Alright, let's do this! The 'soft' elements in the 7-S model are Style, Staff, and Skills. Sustainability? That's more like a corporate buzzword than a core component. Now, where's the coffee? I need to power through this exam!

Aha, the 7-S model! I got this. Style, Staff, and Skills – the 'soft' elements that really make a company tick. Sentiment? Sounds more like a HR party than a management framework. Time to get serious, folks!

Sentiment does sound more like a HR thing, not really a part of the management framework.

Ah, the classic 7-S model! Okay, let's think this through. Style, Staff, and Skills – that's the trio we're looking for. Sustainability? Nah, that's more like a nice-to-have, not a core part of the model.

Yeah, Sustainability seems more like a separate aspect rather than a core part of the model.

Hmm, let's see. The 'soft' elements in the 7-S model are definitely Style, Staff, and Skills. C'mon, Sentiment? That's just plain weird. Gotta stay focused on the real deal here.

I believe Skills, Strategy, and Sustainability are the soft elements because they are more intangible and related to culture.

I agree with Azzie. Sentiment, Style, and Staff are more about the people side of things.
