There are certain skills which you are born with, then are skills which you can and may want to develop.

The most important skill I think is the skill of using the correct skill in the correct situation.

The skill that I admire in some people is the skill to ‘shut up and listen’. Seems like they’ve got all the patience in the world, they will never stop the opposite from ranting and just listen to them. Finally, when that person has finished, they would respond if necessary or sometimes not respond and at all and just respond to it with a smile on their face. I really find that commendable and personlly tough to achieve that.

I think it also comes with age, experience, position and various other factors that occur in ones life. Anyways, here are links to some webpages which talk about various personal skills:

1 – Seven Essential Teamwork Skills (My fav.)
2 – 15 Personal Skills You Need on the Job
3 – Personal Skills

So which skill are you trying to work/improve on?
