ORGANISATIONAL AND EXECUTION SKILLS These are the skills that help you to plan, prepare, and get things done in the workplace, so putting them to use in your role is valuable to employers. Here are some examples of what these skills involve: • Time management skills: managing your own time to get the job done. This is especially useful in fast-paced work environments. • Research and analytical skills: researching and collecting data, analysing, reporting on your findings and making recommendations. • Multi-tasking skills: efficiently handling day-to-day tasks, such as responding to emails, managing calendars and appointments. • Financial management skills: developing and managing budgets, keeping financial records, fundraising or project managing. • Influencing skills: being able to bring people around to your way of thinking in a collaborative manner. • Creative thinking: generating new ideas and coming up with innovative solutions to problems. • Planning skills: managing yourself, others and available resources with a goal in mind, and creating plans for projects or events. • Technology or digital literacy: being able to use and quickly adapt to new technology, programs or tools. LEADERSHIP SKILLS Effective leaders can motivate their team and make decisions, which are things almost any successful business needs. • Prioritisation and delegation skills: being able to step back from the coalface and decide what needs to be done first, and determining which jobs are necessary and who can best handle them. • Critical thinking and problem solving skills: looking at problems, analysing them and coming up with solutions. • Coaching and mentoring skills: supporting and encouraging people to achieve goals, helping them work through roadblocks, plus providing feedback and information on performance. COMMUNICATION SKILLS Workplaces rely on communication for things to run smoothly, so skills you have here will be a benefit to them. These skills can be used communicating within your team or company, as well as externally. • Listening skills: not only taking on what’s communicated to you but also interpreting and understanding it. • Writing skills: this isn’t necessarily creative writing; it’s any kind of interaction that involves the written word, such as reports, emails, letters, sales materials and articles. • Face-to-face meeting skills: communicating in person, including facilitating meetings & ideas.https://fmi.online/resources/
