Top 3 skills valued by the employer
Competitivity at work is what keeps us in the professional race. But what makes us competitive for the employer? Below are the top three skills most valued by employers:
- Critical thinking
We are tempted to make decisions quickly, as quickly as possible, so that we can move on to the next item on the to-do list that we have to close, but which we will never close anyway. The analysis of options seems to be a waste of time - which is insufficient as it is. However, critical thinking helps a lot when we have to evaluate options before making a decision, so that the decision made is the right one, which automatically leads to time savings.
- The ability to stop talking and start listening
Some people believe that only by talking a lot they will advance in their career, only in this way they become known, "seen". Sharing your own experience is a very important aspect of the relationship, but actively listening to what your colleagues, managers or employees have to say can bring you many benefits. By actively listening you will truly understand what your managers' expectations are, you will be able to find out what motivates your colleagues or what your clients need. Developing and using this skill will definitely increase your performance, being an essential tool of the development-relationship process.
- Solve problems instead of complaining about them
Problems arise regardless of the job. Sometimes it is difficult not to be affected by the problems that may arise during the day, but this situation does not change if we succumb to negativism, constantly complaining about the situation. Personal negativity affects others and the environment in which we work soon becomes toxic. Moreover, we are perceived as "X who always complains ...". The attitude focused on solving the problem makes the work environment an engaging one, free of boredom and negativity. Looking only for problems, we will forget how pleasant the feeling of solving them is.
