Communications skills are the most essential assets for anyone to achieve success in today’s competitive world. Companies are giving more importance to soft skills during job interviews. You can never enhance your personality in the society/team without communication skills. Soft skills are essential to have a great career or to get success in interviews. Never treat soft skills as an academic requirement but as a ingredient of your personality. A great intelligent person without communication skills can achieve nothing in personal/work life.
The various types of soft skills are:
1. Interpersonal skills.
2. Team working skills.
3. Creative thinking.
4. Decision making skills.
5. Problem solving skills.
6. Memory and reasoning techniques.
To day most of the parents encourage their children to study well so that they can get a “ good job” ad earn handsome salaries. No doubt it is a good thing on the part of the parents.
But what about other options (skills)?
Recently, an expert said in an interview that “It may be true that it is those students who secure more than 65% marks in their academic qualifications get the jobs in reputed companies and it is also a fact that it is those who secure between 50 %to 60% marks have started these companies”.
So, to build and lead a successful team, you can successfully able to communicate with your team member. You can never become a leader without these soft skills. All great leaders in the history like Abraham Lincoln are also a wonderful communicators. Just see how Obama trounced favourite Hillary Clinton by using his great communication skills.
For example, well- known personalities like Bill Gates (Microsoft), Lawrence Ellison (Oracle) and Michael Dell (Dell computers), etc. are all ordinary students during their school days and some are college dropouts. They went onto build great companies by inspiring people with their ideas and leadership skills.
This is not to suggest that you need not work hard in the academic qualifying exams but along with the studies, take into consideration of being able to think out of the box and equip yourself with all the skills required to become successful person in today’s highly competitive world.
Success Quote: “Success is nothing but 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”. “A successful person is a skilled person”.
