Investopedia explains 'Soft Economic Moat'
Soft moats are more difficult to identify than better-known economic moats such as brand name, pricing power, high switching costs and market share. Nevertheless, they can be a great way for companies to ward off competitive pressures.
Many would argue that Jack Welch's exceptional leadership at General Electric as the company's CEO from 1981-2001 provided GE with a soft economic moat.
