When working with my clients I often tell them that there are only 4 types of job related skills they should focus on:
Minimum Viable Skills—The skills they absolutely need to get a job done, and/or get hired for a job.
Force Multipliers—Skills that will make their entire process more effective
Bottlenecks—Skills that are the slowest point in their whole process.
Competitive Advantages—Skills that make them less replaceable or more specialized.
Tangentially related, but as you’re thinking about effective skills to focus on, a rather useful framework that my clients have used to great effect.
That’s excellent!
Is that list your own formulation or is it from earlier work? (or, I suppose, to what degree from earlier work)
It’s mostly of my own formulation, although I’m sure similar lists exist elsewhere.
funnily enough this list translates pretty well in the context of a whole business or organisation. great work!
