21世紀(jì)合格人材必備7大技能
1.
技術(shù)專長(zhǎng)與創(chuàng)新能力——將更加重要。今后將越來(lái)越需要在計(jì)算機(jī)、產(chǎn)品推銷和管道工程等方面既懂理論又有實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人。
2.想像
能力——將是一種需要。這種能力至關(guān)重要，它可收集和獲取廣泛而大量的知識(shí)信息，并對(duì)其中一些知識(shí)、思維方法及觀察視角加以借鑒，以便引導(dǎo)公司走向未來(lái)。
3.
數(shù)字與計(jì)算——固然很重要，但是保證月與月之間的銜接、部門與部門的配合都順利通暢將是實(shí)現(xiàn)長(zhǎng)期高效運(yùn)作的關(guān)鍵所在。實(shí)際上，每個(gè)公司都必須改變那種只做下一個(gè)財(cái)政年度計(jì)劃的錯(cuò)誤觀念。
4.組織能力——
在未來(lái)的公司的運(yùn)作中無(wú)疑是十分重要的。無(wú)論到哪兒，組織工作都是必不可少的，如調(diào)撥財(cái)力物力、設(shè)置工作流程、制定市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷戰(zhàn)略、尋找贏利機(jī)會(huì)等等，所有這些都需要高水平的組織與改組能力。
5.說(shuō)服能力——
將以各種方式在未來(lái)公司中發(fā)揮作用。工作最有成效的員工將是那些懂得如何表達(dá)信息和思想以便能夠得到別人理解與支持的人，出色的游說(shuō)能力在未來(lái)更多的人際交往中將是必不可少的，特別是在公司內(nèi)部。
6.
交流能力——聽得認(rèn)真、寫得明白、看得仔細(xì)、說(shuō)得清楚、敘述準(zhǔn)確——將具有無(wú)可估量的價(jià)值。在未來(lái)快節(jié)奏的工作環(huán)境中，人們惜時(shí)如金，容不得半，點(diǎn)疏漏。交流障礙很可能成為未來(lái)公司致命的問(wèn)題。
7.
學(xué)習(xí)能力——將在上述各種能力中占據(jù)最重要的地位，因?yàn)樗谷四軌蛱岣吖ぷ餍?，幫助自己的公司達(dá)到預(yù)期目的。這種能力一部分來(lái)自個(gè)人夭賦，當(dāng)然也有不少人通過(guò)接受高等教育提高自己的氣習(xí)能力和各種知識(shí)的融會(huì)貫通能力。我們認(rèn)為，大學(xué)文科教育積累的經(jīng)驗(yàn)將證明是對(duì)明天的們最有價(jià)值的教育形式。
21世紀(jì)最出色的公司雇員將富有靈活性和創(chuàng)造性，并有志于做出不同凡響的創(chuàng)舉。他們將在事業(yè)和家庭兩方面尋求平衡、發(fā)展與完善。未來(lái)的公司必須對(duì)雇員必備技能加以考核，否則，公司的發(fā)展就會(huì)因工作中缺乏合格人才而受限制。
