Is Creativity a Skill? - EdSurge

Is Creativity a Skill? - EdSurge | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

Are you creative? How would you know, or convince your boss? According to a new LinkedIn analysis of member profiles, creativity tops the chart of soft skills that employers are looking for.

A skill is loosely defined as the ability to do something well. The word traces back to Old Norse for “power of discernment.” In the early 13th century, the word was also used to describe one’s “sense of ability, cleverness.” Skills can also be taught, improved, measured and defined—and be done with some consistency and reliability.

The Invisible Skills That Are Crucial To Success

The Invisible Skills That Are Crucial To Success | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

If someone asked you to list your skill set, you probably wouldn’t mention the fact that you show up for work every day. But Jon Acuff, author of Do Over: Rescue Monday, Reinvent Your Work, and Never Get Stuck, says you should rethink your definition of skills and recognize that the small things like showing up are often the "invisible" things that contribute most to your success.

 

"Most people think of the word ‘skills’ too narrowly, assuming that it means a subject you’ve earned a degree in, or bullet points you can list on a resume," he says. "But skills are more than that. Your employer expects you to be at work every day, for example, and if you Google, ‘why do people get fired,’ absenteeism is on every list."

You should rethink your definition of skills: the small, often invisible, things contribute most to your success.

for us students, this looks okay. possibly a few monographs to peruse

and the opportunity to reassess our skill set.
