Communication
A
skill is the learned ability to perform an action with determined results with
good execution often within a given amount of time, energy, or both. Skills can
often be divided into domain-general and domain-specific skills. For example,
in the domain of work, some general skills would include time management,
teamwork and leadership, self-motivation and others, whereas domain-specific
skills would be used only for a certain job. Skill usually requires certain
environmental stimuli and situations to assess the level of skill being shown
and used.
People
need a broad range of skills to contribute to the modern economy. A joint ASTD
and U.S. Department of Labour study
showed that through technology, the workplace is changing, and identified 16
basic skills that employees must have to be able to change with it. Three broad
categories of skills are suggested and these are technical, human, and
conceptual .The first two can be substituted with hard and soft skills,
respectively.
