What does it take to succeed? A positive attitude? Well, sure, but thats hardly enough. The Law of Attraction? The Secret? These ideas might act as spurs to action, but without the action itself, they dont do much. Success, however its defined, takes action, and taking good and appropriate action takes skills. Some of these skills (not enough, though) are taught in school (not well enough, either), others are taught on the job, and still others we learn from general life experience. Below is a list of general skills that will help anyone get ahead in practically any field, from running a company
1 of 32
2011-05-05 15:19
to running a gardening club. Of course, there are skills specific to each field as well but my concern here is with the skills that translate across disciplines, the ones that can be learned by anyone in any position.
1. Public Speaking
237 The ability to speak clearly, persuasively, and forcefully in front of an audience whether an audience of 1 or of
Share
thousands is one of the most important skills anyone can develop. People who are effective speakers come across as more comfortable with themselves, more confident, and more attractive to be around. Being able to speak effectively means you can sell anything products, of course, but also ideas, ideologies, worldviews. And yourself which means more opportunities for career advancement, bigger clients, or business funding.
2. Writing
Writing well offers many of the same advantages that speaking well offers: good writers are better at selling products, ideas, and themselves than poor writers. Learning to write well involves not just mastery of grammar but the development of the ability to organize ones thoughts into a coherent form and target it to an audience in the most effective way possible. Given the huge amount of text generated by almost every transaction from court briefs and legislation running into the thousands of pages to those foot-long receipts you get when you buy gum these days a person who is a master of the written word can expect doors to open in just about every field.
3. Self-Management
If success depends on effective action, effective action depends on the ability to focus your attention where it is needed most, when it is needed most. Strong organizational skills, effective productivity habits, and a strong sense of discipline are needed to keep yourself on track.
4. Networking
Networking is not only for finding jobs or clients. In an economy dominated by ideas and innovation, networking creates the channel through which ideas flow and in which new ideas are created. A large network, carefully cultivated, ties one into not just a body of people but a body of relationships, and those relationships are more than just the sum of their parts. The interactions those relationships make possible give rise to innovation and creativity and provide the support to nurture new ideas until they can be realized.
5. Critical Thinking
We are exposed to hundreds, if not thousands, of times more information on a daily basis than our greatgrandparents were. Being able to evaluate that information, sort the potentially valuable from the trivial, analyze its relevance and meaning, and relate it to other information is crucial and woefully under-taught. Good critical thinking skills immediately distinguish you from the mass of people these days.
6. Decision-Making
The bridge that leads from analysis to action is effective decision-making knowing what to do based on the information available. While not being critical can be dangerous, so too can over-analyzing, or waiting for more information before making a decision. Being able to take in the scene and respond quickly and effectively is what separates the doers from the wannabes.
7. Math
You dont have to be able to integrate polynomials to be successful. However, the ability to quickly work with figures in your head, to make rough but fairly accurate estimates, and to understand things like compound
2 of 32
2011-05-05 15:19
interest and basic statistics gives you a big lead on most people. All of these skills will help you to analyze data more effectively and more quickly and to make better decisions based on it.
8. Research
237 Nobody can be expected to know everything, or even a tiny fraction of everything. Even within your field,
Share
chances are theres far more that you dont know than you do know. You dont have to know everything but you should be able to quickly and painlessly find out what you need to know. That means learning to use the Internet effectively, learning to use a library, learning to read productively, and learning how to leverage your network of contacts and what kinds of research are going to work best in any given situation.
9. Relaxation
Stress will not only kill you, it leads to poor decision-making, poor thinking, and poor socialization. So be failing to relax, you knock out at least three of the skills in this list and really more. Plus, working yourself to death in order to keep up, and not having any time to enjoy the fruits of your work, isnt really success. Its obsession. Being able to face even the most pressing crises with your wits about you and in the most productive way is possibly the most important thing on this list.
10. Basic Accounting

It is a simple fact in our society that money is necessary. Even the simple pleasures in life, like hugging your child, ultimately need money or youre not going to survive to hug for very long. Knowing how to track and record your expenses and income is important just to survive, let alone to thrive. But more than that, the principles of accounting apply more widely to things like tracking the time you spend on a project or determining whether the value of an action outweighs the costs in money, time, and effort. Its a shame that basic accounting isnt a required part of the core K-12 curriculum.
What Else?
Surely there are more important skills Im not thinking of (which is probably why Im not telling Bill Gates what to do!) what are they? What have I missed? What lessons have you learned that were key to your successes and what have you ignored to your peril?

Perhaps the most important skill of all is self-insight. This skill helps us know who we are, our strengths and needs for improvement, as well as assists us in understanding how we're perceived by others. Those without self-insight very often see their careers derail regardless of the level of their other skills.

I think these comments r very nice the tips r amazing!!!

We should all print this off and paste it to our foreheads.

Communication is a big word covering so much ground--some folks are better at one sort, others at a different sort. What I've found to be an underrated (and sadly often underused) skill is being able to criticise someone or deliver less-than-uplifting information to one or more people in ways that neither are too painful OR which fail to confront the issue at hand in ways that give the party being addressed sufficient information to actually change whatever is problematic. Doing this well does not come easily and like many things, you have to get it wrong in a lot of situations before finally learning to get it right by seeing

what ways of presenting this kind of information tend to work best. But it's more than worth it. Things to begin with: - Straightforwardness. Honesty. - Lack of avoidance-phobia when it comes to causing unhappiness (strongly empathic people tend to have this)
237 - Balancing criticism with equivalent opposite compliment.

Giving encouragement that's personal, not generalised or generic--which makes it much more believable
I think of the jobs and friendships and relationships fallen by the wayside that owed their demise in whole or part to poorly communicated or NON-communicated criticism, and it makes me sad. It hurts to know you failed at something, but so much more the pain when you find out you could have changed something, but never got a clear signal about what it would have done you well to change--and so, you never even tried to in the first place.
Thanks a lot, they way u give tips, one word i can say its excellent,

I agree that critical thinking should be in this list...maybe at #1. The Robi Robot Syndrome just seems to get stronger each year in modern society. People don't like to think these days! We have TV, religion, sports and (yikes!) the web to make sure we never have to critically consider the important issues in our world.
Very nice post. I'd add: Versatility (see blow) A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

I think basic pc troubleshooting skills is great to have now., both hardware and software. It is a subset of critical thinking, so I guess you do have it covered. But it does take someone comfortable with technology to do so. I have seen great critical thinkers in business that have no idea how to solve the most basic of pc problems. Though if everyone learned it, I may be out of a job. Blogging is a subset of the writing skill that I am learning and hopefully improving. I have a blog at http://frugalnyc.blogspot.com/... I would appreciate it if you leave comments about how I can improve my posts or if you find them at all useful. Go easy on me, I'm a newbie. Just as Dustin said, some of the comments point out qualities, not skills. Skills are things that you learn from school (including books), from others, or from experience. I think the qualities such as patience are definitely having though. Some of these qualities can be improved, and I think that's probably where the line blurs and the confusion starts.

Before I go, I wanted to say, I am a big fan of Dustin's posts for the past several months. When I find an article on lifehack and Dustin is the author, I find that 95% of the time, it is a great post I can take something away from. Sorry I can't give you 100% Dustin, I believe nobody is perfect. Thanks for all the great comments everyone!

Creative thinking is definitely a skill and can be taught: De Bono has proved that conclusively. His materials are well worth a review. The CoRT program is used in quite a few countries and the differences in creativity between those who have taken the program and those who have not is quite astonishing. I just thought of another skill that is important for success: people are often judged on how they hold themselves and move, so I would add a physical component of movement skills, which can be learned through (for example) modern dance, ballet, martial arts, or the like.
Orchid: I *wish* I had all of these, or excelled at the ones I do have. I'm a good writer, a decent public speaker, ok at math (though as noted, I think integrating polynomials is hard; I'm no mathematician). The rest of these... I see them as important and try to improve myself in those areas. It's clear I could have done 20 skills -- seeing things from different perspectives is a really good one (I'm an anthropologist by training, so that's kind of my job). Some of the recommendations here -- computer skills, marketing, negotiation, etc. -- definitely deserve a place on the list. Mr Chauncy: I had visualization in my original list, but decided it was part of critical thinking (being able to visualize data/scenarios to analyze them) and writing (being able to produce graphs/charts/images that illustrate and support your point). I think it's a really important skill, and one I'd like to become better at.
relaxation is optional for many Americans as they enjoy working long hours for little monetary reward. They prefer the accolades than financial in some cases. Maybe it is just an angle for big money down the road, who knows for sure.
I have used above mentioned skill in my last final interview, when the result was out I was selected outstanding candidate, so, I will asked from management, what was the reason, and answer was your personal skill was very stronge and these skill i have learn from same site. thanks,
Dustin these top 10 skills are on my list as well and very important for busines success. Although many of my clients seem to have a hard time 'blending' their skills so they feel more confident in taking the action they know they have to take. I think it is also good to know you won't be perfect starting out, and this is ok. But be prepared for that, don't give in, don't create excuses and never, ever give up.

Great post! Success has many components and you have hit all the primary elements. My favorite idiom for success is to think outside of the box. But the most important thing is to believe in yourself so others can believe in you.
I'm a bit biased, but I'd say a great memory is also required for success. There are many types of memory (shameless plug: download my free ebook to learn more). If you don't have the mental skills for strong memory, you at least need to substitute a structured life to prevent forgetting. http://www.elementsofmemory.co... http://trevorponder.com
Ask what you don't know, or what you don't understand. Do it always!

development, the networking, the critical thinking, self-management, and the networking. Once you improve those areas, your writing seems to improve all by itself, because as your communication improves, your writing improves. Likewise stress reduces itself, almost like magic. The best part is that Toastmaster meetings are everywhere. Members vary from corporate leaders to ditch diggers. Membership is cheap. Clubs love visitors, so you can try them out, painlessly. Math? You're on your own there. :)

10 skills you need to be successful is an interesting article.i never met a person who gets up in the morning and says "i dont wanna be successful"so just do your best,make good choices and keep trying.ALSO CLICK ON MY NAME ABOVE AND GO TO MY WEBSITE FOR SOME INTERESTING WEBSITES FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
A truly successful person has all of the skills that you mentioned AND the qualities of Empathy or high eQ, emotional IQ.
Projection...the ability to look good, exude confidence,(not arrogance please), will help you to motivate others and demand attention. You should OWN the room, every room you walk in; remember "it's not how you feel, it's how you look! and dahling you look mahvelous, absolutely mahvelous"
Interesting article & thread. I would say Self-awareness is a must. Is it a trait or skill? I dunno. For anyone to succeed he/she needs to know who he/she is & what his/her particular role is in a given situation. Lack of other skills might be overcome but if a person is not "awake" then that person will not go far!
http://acquiredtaste.wordpress...
Don't forget leadership and execution.
the 10 skills suggested are about what you can LEARN - many other suggested attributes are qualities (which can indeed be enhanced by learning). So the point is, that these are the 10 that can be learned by anyone. Special qualities may help, but are not essential. Regrettably, wmac is right. But even more, those people are right who emphasis integrity and honesty - those who are not trusted will fail in the end.

SPELLING! Even if you have the other ten in spades, if you can't spell, they're not worth diddly squat.
Some skills I've found useful: Being able to access my own pleasure (in a broad sense) and taking responsibility to bring into being what gives me pleasure. It is good to make decisions based on pleasure vs. on avoidance. It provides a ground for loving. I learned to think of things this way from Audre Lorde. A second skill I have used is asking questions about everything of anyone. This has given me the ability to fulfill my pleasure and that of others. I learned this from the Center for Career Development and Ministry in Newton Centre, Massachusetts. Cheers, Christian
This may be correlated with some of the skills you have identified, but I would suggest scheduling/time management as its own specific skill on the list. Whether its developing and managing a schedule for a large project with multiple staff, or simply trying to organize friends for a dinner date, this is a critical skill we could all be better at.
How about some foundation based in reality. I was talking to a woman last weekend who thought that, in the history of mankind, there had been two (2) wars: WWI and WWII. She also thought that Martin Luther King had once been POTUS, had no idea what was the significance of July 4, 1776, or what the difference was between the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.
Curiosity, and the willingness to express it. People like to know you're interested in them.
great list - thank you! I would add something about change. The ability to handle it successfully, emotionally, planning, being flexible, adaptable, and open.

The math metaphor is not a very good one. While "integrating polynomials might sound brainsy it is actually a very simple thing to do, al you need to know in order to do that is to add ans subtract by one."
congrats on the link from huffpo! well deserved.
Being a good liar, an artful back-stabber, and an excellent withholder of highly relevant information.
yes, these skills are all helpful, but without taking the appropriate actions, or having an approach for developing all these traits, we're left to flounder. for some concrete action and help on tracking your finances, try setting up an account on mint.com : http://www.mint.com
Integrity and honesty! We don't like or respect people we can't trust.
Awareness. How many of us have bosses who are oblivious.
Spirituality. It means something different to everyone but whatever it means to you, you should embrace it. If that word scares some try "Balance."
You can eliminate some of the skills if you have this ability.

watching it. Let's hope Obama wins and there is no war with Iran. He's our best hope now. I believe there is no impeachment now going on because neocons and their followers are dangerous. Bush should have been impeached.
Preparedness. I find that being prepared can be a panacea if you come up short on almost all of the points on your list. The greatest public speaker can be reduced to a stuttering fool if he/she is not prepared. I like this list as a jumping off point. We could all probably have custom tailored lists that would include many of your 10 but many of the others that people have mentioned here in response.
while you were indulging yourselves in your petty ambitions and your personal dreams, your Democracy was stolen from you by a band of rogue Neocons. Did you think someone else was minding the store while you were stroking your egos?
Thanks for the article! Another great read on the subject is "Twains Take on Poor Richard and The Secret (Opinion)" at Whakate.com
http://www.whakate.com/lead-ar...
I would also add COMEDY IMPROV as a hugely useful skill. I did improv for several years and then discovered it spilled over into my public speaking, writing, and presenting--to great benefit. It helps you frame difficult conversations with just enough levity and humor that you can discuss very tricky issues and keep people calm and enjoying the discussion.
There are too many people being pushed to their working and family limits making it difficult for them to think clearly in stressful or challenging situations. Perhaps it would be a help if more people could develop a passive income from programs like the one at: www.jaxeagles.com then they could slow down and learn another language, or join Toastmasters to learn and hone public speaking skills. With schedules that are so rushed just to make ends meet it doesn't leave time for developing new skills or improving on existing skills. Sometimes you just feel like pressing the "pause" button so you can think.

of these skills are industry-based. Following is an interview I did about being a creative professional: http://www.behancemag.com/Mich...
An interesting list but I've never met anyone who was talented in all of these fields. I think you need to allow for differences in personality, talent and temperment. I'm in academia and I know some excellent researchers who aren't very good at public speaking. But that doesn't affect the quality of the work they produce. And I know, as an introvert, that I would be a terrible salesperson. I COULD do it (you can do almost anything with your back against the wall) but I would not succeed...that's not based on negative thinking but from life experience, which activities I excel at and which ones I am less skilled at. You play to your strengths, trying to be all things to all people means that you never develop your main gifts as much as if you focused upon them. I'm not saying that anyone should be one dimensional--we're not Olympic athletes!--but just it is unrealistic to try to become superwoman or superman.
A lot of great comments and suggestions. I want to address one in particular, though. Darren: I utterly disagree. If we lump 1 and 2 together as "communication", then it's clear that the best artists have mastered that skill. As it happens, many artists were great writers as well (read Van Gogh's letters) and though few were great orators in the traditional sense, many have a kind of charisma that I would lump under "public speaking" -- people hang on what they say (Warhol, for example). And so on -- self-management is crucial to productive artists, who often have plenty of reasons not to be pursuing their art but do it anyway. Even math, which strikes boring people as uncreative, has a place in many artists work (Seurat, for example). I don't think it's that these skills are particularly rational/linear, I think it's that we've had it drilled into our heads to think of them that way. ALl: A note on relaxation -- a few people have commented that they or others work a lot. That's fine -- it's not what I meant. A person who approaches crises, even a dozen a day, with a sense of calm and control is going to be in a far better place than one who approaches them with terror and panic. That's relaxation skill. Consider a successful firefighter...

A lot of thanks for this article. Well, me being a freelancer, I've got to develop my skills so as to sell my work and my experience to my clients more. These skills are really required to me.
that sounds good on paper but it's a very logical linear path to 'success', when you look at people who are successful in a more 'cool' way, like writers, artists and musicians you'll see that following a muse can be extremely illogical and their lives can be a total mess! Is success measured by your current rewards or by what you give to posterity? by this scale most of my favorite people were total failures!!!
It was said earlier but I have to 2nd or 3rd it, plenty of imagination. and I will add GOOD Manners. I often tell my son that Good Manners will open more doors than the best bought education. Of-course both are nice! Thanks for reminding me
This time, Wax on. Thanks for the refresh. I used to teach very much this same list. Good to see it posted out. And thanks @ChrisBrogan for the h/u. ~Best, Ed
I think that being able to introduce yourself in a business/social situation is key. Feeling comfortable enough to walk up to a stranger, shake their hand firmly and say "Hello, I'm John Doe, it's a pleasure to meet you" can grease the wheels in many situations. People are usually so grateful that someone has broken the ice that they'll start talking right away.
Great Read. Though the list has covered most of things, I am sure there are a lot of other skills needed. And there is no concoction that one can make to be 100% successful. -Nikhil

Good to see the important basics listed here! I agree with most all of them. One additional element I would address is the arts. Not in the traditional
Once the domain of the painter, dancer, poet, and monk, business and medical schools in the top institutions of America are now ensuring students complete studies in the arts. They find it significantly increases their capacity to observe and identity patterns, which leads to innovation and problemsolving not capable with logic. It also tends to reduce prejudice among children and allows for forms of expression that reduce stress and self-esteem issues.
Working with figures in your head or compounding is not math, that's just calculating. Real math only treats numbers as special cases of more abstract patterns.
Ulysses: Your ninja skills will probably bring you great success. (Though nobody will ever see or hear about it, so how would I know if I'm right?) But this post was meant to be about skills that can be learned by anyone, and as I understand it, the International Order of Ninjii take an active role when anyone tries to learn ninja skills beyond shurikening a tree. So the rest of us have to make do with skills that are *not* ninjavian in nature.
So.....you are saying my skils as a NINJA will get me nowhere?
Keith: US English-speakers (like myself) would never say or write "Maths". That's a pure Britishism.
Pillow fluffing. (vital organisation skill) TV remote mastery. (channel hopping proficiency demonstates a serious personality) Opening beer bottles with a lighter (or teeth).

(everybody needs an interesting hobby) An overwhelming desire to fart your way to the top (the smell of ambition is unmistakeable)
Well, I would add:

I don't think anyone would ever regret learning a foreign language. But I'm biased, so maybe I'm wrong. XD
I can't help thinking that these skills should be set for the national curriculum. Languages also, although I don't agree languages are essential, childhood is the best time to learn.
Great post - the one single one I would add to the list would be "Skill with people" or the ability to communicate and manage peole effectively. Nobody is an island, to be successful in just about anything takes a certain amount of collaboration and in order for that to work you need people's trust and respect.
Great list - if your creating a robot or autotom. Seriously, we are humans and human skils, as mentioned in previous comments, are at least as important. Think about people who have most influenced your lives/careers/etc. What was special about them? Off the top of me head I'd add compassion and visualization (the "big picture").
Where I work, one most easily bend at the knees and ... well you get the point. It appears that around here it is the only way to move up or in some cases save your job. Our management and staff motives are self-serving. I agree with the posting above it is another reason I am looking to leave my employer. Problem is that there are so many others who are looking to do the very same. If I had the money and could start my own compnay I could very easily take 1/3 of the people I work with with me! According to Kouzes and Posner (The Leadership Challenge) one has only to observe who get promoted, rewarded and punished to figure out the values of the organization. Using that as a guildline - my org has no or very poor leadership or redeeming morals. People are wanting to jump ship! So bottom line - if you want to succeed - find an organization that share YOUR personal values! That way you are not trying to swim against the current!
Skills you need to succeed at almost anything = skills the poster already has and prioritizes

I like the addition of managing emotions self soothing concept. I work in the healthcare industry and it is amazing to see how when some co-workers response to stress and other various emotions reflect outwardly they can quickly lose respect and sucess.

Don't forget sleep. Getting enough sleep keeps you energized. Here is my article listing over 200+ reasons why sleep is so important. http://www.shapeupamerica.com/... My self-improvement article: http://www.shapeupamerica.com/...

This will sound vile, but 11) The ability to dropkick people who cannot do #9: RELAX!!! out of your life. There's nothing like waking up every day to someone who is stressed beyond belief and thinks that everything will be alright as long as everything stays the same.
Nice post, you have them all. Actually I would kill accounting: it is the same as Math + self management Also you might want to change the order to group communication skills, analytical skills and other (decision making + Self mgt + relaxation) Next question is how much is appropriately taught in high school...
NEVER EVER believe some dumbass who tells you "it can't be done." Prove them wrong by doing it.

Great post. Public speaking would definitely be near the top of my list. Lately, this area of my professional career has been the most challenging for me. For all those who struggle with public speaking (or even in meetings when doing a round-the-room), my thoughts are with you!
Social Intelligence! Understanding human behavior, Putting yourself in other people's shoes, and having a deep understanding that it's not about YOU.
Attention to detail and mindfulness!
Enroll yourself into a liberal arts program. The humanities need more attention. Numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8 are taken care of with that level of education--being the best and most rounded education.
I think that as long as one has a desire to succeed as well as dreams and goals that it will happen. http://www.statetostateconnect... Where Social Networking and Virtual Reality Meet!
Dude - you TOTALLY forgot positive thinking!?

One very important one: computer literacy. I consider being able to touch-type part of that. I know even successful computer geeks who don't touch-type, but they are the exception. The reason I include this, if it's not obvious, is that even with jobs that aren't really computer jobs, almost any high paying job is a desk job, and with desk jobs, you will not be able to compete with your morore efficient, computer literate coworkers if you don't know how to use technology to its fullest advantage. Even if you are a contractor or a plumber or something like that, knowing how to use a computer and software relevant to running your business will still allow you to compete better. Anyone avoiding using computers will be stuck in the mid-20th century, and so will their career. Another important skill to have is to learn how to delay gratification and plan for the long term. If you have a route and a destination for say the next 5 years, then you don't waste a bunch of time acting on impulses, doing mostly things that may be fun or interesting, but which don't advance your personal goals. That's not to say advancing your goals can't be fun or interesting, or that you shouldn't goof off - but be able to keep your sights set.
What about being a ninja?
I just posted at GTDtimes.com about three life skills from a psychology point of view, some of which overlap with yours. They are very broad. 1) Getting along with others, 2) Getting things done (familiar, eh?) 3) Managing emotions (self-soothing). I think your list was remarkably solid, and could use a little amendment to either broaden your self management one or add these more psychological ones. Was very glad to see critical thinking on here. That is surprisingly undervalued by too many educated people IMHO. My accounting skills could use some enhancement by the way.
I don't know if these are one of them, but I guess a good attitude (etiquette) and wisdom also a must on that list. It's always good to see successful person with those qualities.
Knowing how to look...... Literally, being able to look at a problem in the physical world. The solution will often be obvious if the observer has the ability to concentrate on the object to the right degree.....in my experience, a rare quality. Figuratively, in the non-physical world, complex problems cannot be solved unless they are subjected to close scrutiny by means of concentrated observation and analysis.

I would say that a certain level of confidence and the ability to sell yourself are two things which will really aid in success. Great article, thanks!

Sales skills - incredibly important.
Obama, McCain, Bush, Kerry and Gore, all attended elite private boarding schools. Did they get any skills there not on the above list, and not taught at your public school either, no matter how "good"? Educator (public school, NYC) John Taylor Gatto thinks so. He names fourteen such here: http://www.edflix.org/gatto.ht... They are in the first four short videos. One is training in manners and civility. Handle and seek responsibility. Come to a personal code of behavior, of production, and of morality. Can deal with personal challenges, like shyness, cowardice, procrastination. Having a habit of caution in reasoning to a conclusion I don't think Gatto has written these up anywhere.
I think a sense of humor is important in growing success. Knowing the appropriate time to use humor and to what extent can require a great amount of skill (typically called timing :D ). If it is not a skill by itself, it would definitely improve the communication skills 1,2 and 4.
Great compilation!! I would like to add learning from our failures as another key factor in the long road to success
Nice list and good provocative idea! Comments: - Items 1, 2 and 4 are Communication Skills - I'd expand item 10 into Business Acumen Terry

Dustin: Good to see yet another person who understands the importance of accounting in everyday life. My site about basic accounting is my way of helping people gain this important skill.
I agree with some of these and yes many are key. However, Public Speaking should be replaced with confidence. Networking isn't always key as some people are unique in their own right. Research - not always, sometimes success is born from luck or from the unique aspect. Relaxation... i work 16 hours a day. :-D
I agree that #9 is the most important point in this list. In my own life, I have found that 10-15 minutes of alone time, doing nothing, at least once per day helps to manage my anxiety and stress. Being in the technology business - this is so important for all of us to manage. Not only does it help with mental health, but it also helps keep the waistline slim: it's well known that stress makes you fat.

All: Some of your suggestions I'd consider "qualities" rather than "skills" -- e.g. patience, creativity. That's not saying they can't be cultivated and improved, of course. Maybe I should do a companion: "10 Qualities for Success"? Kate: Touch-typing! Does anyone even teach that any more? It's true, though, I would have gotten more out of one high school typing class than I've gotten out of probably *all* the AP courses I took! (On the other hand, I did take 5 years of foreign language, which has been fun and helpful, but I don't know if it's given me any success...) Michael: That's true -- maybe I meant more bookkeeping. I wanted to suggest that the principles that accountants use to gain the "big picture" of a company can transfer to real life, but I'm not well-versed enough in them to make that argument. Which is another reason Bill Gates doesn't return my

Ah---another important skill: drawing. Not in the sense of portraits or nature scenes, but in the sense of diagrams, representations, freehand graphs, and the like. As in the book Thinking With A Pencil.
The ability to listen, those who spend all their time talking will learn little.
PATIENCE. Patience, in line with perseverance, are almost always rewarded.
BTW, what you describe under "accounting" is more like bookkeeping. I think accounting is indeed vital, but it's broader than you suggest.
Two others: Reading effectively. Listening effectively. (You do cover writing and speaking, but I think good reading and listening skills are at least as important.)
1. 2. 3. 4.
Negotiating skills Foreign language skill (at least one) Planning skills (PERT, for example---as a *planning* technique, before work starts) People management/leadership skills (communication, evaluation, training, organizing, assigning effectively)
And in decision-making, I would include long-term after-the-fact evaluation of decisions. 5.
