What are the most important skills someone needs to succeed in the business world?

When I asked this question, I was a little bit concerned that everyone was just going to agree that being good at communication was the top skill and that would be that. But it wasn’t even on the list of things these three guys brought to the discussion.

 

Mark Iorio started us off by saying resourcefulness was a top skill. The ability to be open-minded and take on new ideas and solutions.

 

Ian Hendry agreed saying that keeping your child-like creativity was a must. Being able to use things in non-traditional ways. His second thing was being resilient, able to keep going in the face of adversity.

 

Pascal Derrien said having the intent and being intentional about success leads to attaining it. Is that a skill? Depends how you define it. But it certainly important.

 

 I then asked if these things were skills you could learn or if they were things you had to be born with. That turned out to be a much more difficult question to answer. You’ll have to listen to the conversation to see what the panelists thought.

 

What do you think are the key skills to being successful in business and are they born or learned?
