Hello everyone you鈥檙e with me Niharika and welcome to Skillopedia. The place to learn
[19]
skills for the real world. Today we are gonna discuss about the basic business skillsthat
[26]
are required even in this digital age. Of course we belong to the digital age; we are
[33]
so dependent on our smart phones on our computers and on our tablets. Am I right? We love them
[42]
way too much. But does that mean all the things that you have learnt all these years, Do you
[50]
think that it鈥檚 time to throw away out of the window? Well definitely not. There are
[57]
certain basic business skills that are required even in this digital age in order to craft
[63]
your career and make it more meaningful and rewarding for you. So let鈥檚 have a look
[69]
at these basic business skills today.
[78]
The first and the most important thing that you
[80]
need to keep in mind is communication skills. Well, of course communication skills are very
[87]
very important. And why is that? Computers will help you with all the information, with
[95]
all the knowledge that you need in order to probably conduct a meeting or to present yourself.
[103]
However these computers or your phones are not gonna do the talking for you, it鈥檚 you,
[109]
it鈥檚 your ability to speak. It鈥檚 your ability to question. It鈥檚 your ability to
[116]
present and listen to others. So all these things come under communication skills.It鈥檚
[124]
time for you to work on these skills in order to come out as a very confident and effective
[131]
person. So make sure if you belong to the digital age and you鈥檙e way too dependent
[137]
on it, don鈥檛 just concentrate on that, but work on your communication skills as well.
[150]
The second important skill that one requires is relationship building. Well, of course
[155]
it is important for us to build and maintain good relations with the people that we work.
[162]
For example, look at the importance that we give to our family members, to our children,
[169]
to our parents, to our partners. Don鈥檛 you think equal importance should be given to
[176]
your business family as well? Social media and email will help you to maintain a good
[184]
relationship; however that feeling, that desire to keep in touch with people should come from
[190]
within. You have to work in order to keep in touch with your bosses, with your co-workers,
[197]
your suppliers, with your clients and so on. If you wanna come out as a very productive
[205]
person and be happy with what you are doing, it鈥檚 important for you to build good relations,
[211]
so please do keep that in mind.
[219]
What鈥檚 the next important thing when we talk about basic
[223]
business skills? Well, its time management, prioritizing your work, organizing your work
[230]
and goal setting. These are the key factors to time management. Your phone will help you
[238]
to set reminders for you, but it鈥檚 not gonna do the task for you. So it鈥檚 important for
[243]
you to prioritize your work, what is important and then go ahead and perform that task well.
[251]
This is the way you will come out as a very productive person; you will achieve success
[256]
as soon as possible. If you don鈥檛 wanna be burdened with too much of work. Well, it鈥檚
[264]
time to manage and organize your time well, so please do keep in mind, because this is
[270]
one of the most important skills that are required in the business world.
[280]
The next thing that you need to work on is your passion and
[283]
determination. Passion and determination comes
[287]
from within, that insane desire to do something productive. Yes it comes from within, your
[295]
phone is not gonna knock at your door and tell you that, Hey! You need to be passionate
[301]
about something; you need to be determined to achieve your goals. It鈥檚 you who has
[307]
to work hard, you need to put in those efforts, you need to be diligent towards your goals.
[315]
So in order to be successful and productive, effective and impress the world, go ahead
[322]
and start living for yourself.
[330]
And the last important thing that you need to keep in mind,
[332]
when it comes to business skills is flexibility and adaptability. Well, technology is changing
[340]
constantly. You have a product and like in another ten days you have another new product.
[346]
So it鈥檚 important for you to adapt to these new things. You need to be open to new ideas.
[352]
You are working with people who belong to different age groups, so even the thinking
[358]
process is gonna differ. So wouldn鈥檛 it be important for you to be flexible enough
[364]
and accept these ideas openly? Yes, so go ahead and be adaptable and flexible in this
[372]
changing world. Alright people, so this brings me to the end of this discussion today. Always
[379]
remember that business was, is and will be all about people. So do not be dependent on
[387]
these gadgets way too much, instead work on your business skills and trust me, you鈥檒l
