A successful footballer has mastered certain skills, both
on and off the football field. Likewise, a successful Politician has mastered
certain skills both on and off the office. In the same manner, a successful
Boxer, Entertainer, Business Person, Entrepreneur etc they all have mastered
certain skills both on and off their field of expertise.
This writ is an attempt to shortlist the half dozen skills successful people have in common
in an attempt to decode their success.
What is a skill - knowledge plus ability equals skill, put in a proportion that brings competence. We learn the skills they have
in common irrespective of their fields of expertise.
In no particular order, here are the skills that you will
need to master, if you are to raise to the top of your game and lead your
field:
One_Goal Setting – we all
have limited resources at our disposal, especially time, thus it is of utmost
important to know how we ought to assign our resources to what matters most and
what will have greatest impact.
Two_Time Management - you are
either on the way or in the way, you will need to have
pre-set goals, priorities and established discipline if you are to raise above
average. Time is well spent if effectively spent on a preset aim.
Three_Money Management - time is
money and money is time, as we plan, budget, set priorities we must also have
discipline to follow through. Money, like time, if not assigned a specific task
before is acquired, it slips between our fingers.
Four_People Management – people if
one of the greatest asset in any undertaking, if we learn how to influence them
to willingly cooperate with our goals as opposed to forceful control. People
are more productive|creative in cooperation than in duress.
Five_Information Management - we are
bombarded with information every second, to be successful we must master the
skills to separate wheat from chaff. We must decide what to tune into and what
to ignore and let go.
Six_Stakeholders Management – whether you
are employed, self-employed, entrepreneur or investor, there are people and
organization whose interest is your business, take care of them closely, do you
have skills to manage their expectations?
Seven_Failure Management - everyone
who has ever done anything worthwhile has failed at some point, the key is to
learn how to survive failure. Failing is not a problem or an issue, but are
able to raise up from your failure?
