10 Skills You Need to Succeed at Almost Anything
About eight or nine years ago, I signed up for a basic accounting course at the local college. I dislike all things related to numbers, but felt I needed a better understanding of accounting concepts to do my job well.
It took self-management to go to class and complete the assignments. However, the knowledge I gained from the class was well worth the effort. I had new understanding that allowed me to make better decisions within the scope of my job.
Dustin Wax has captured what he considers 10 skills that are required for success in any field (basic accounting included). He has them listed in what I would consider to be order of importance. It’s unfortunate there is not more emphasis placed on all these skills within the educational system.
Below is a list of general skills that will help anyone get ahead in practically any field, from running a company to running a gardening club. Of course, there are skills specific to each field as well – but my concern here is with the skills that translate across disciplines, the ones that can be learned by anyone in any position.
- Public Speaking
- Writing
- Self Management
- Networking
- Critical Thinking
- Decision Making
- Math
- Research
- Relaxation
- Basic Accounting
