LOGIC SKILLS
- Our LS helps us figure out the WHY & WHY and the HOW of the WHAT that we learn.
- Reasoning brings clarity & objectivity in our thought process.
- In decision making quality of the information is more critical than its quantity.
- A management graduate requires deductive logic & skills more, while generating solutions need inductive logic & skills.
- You must be able to both dismantle knowledge using deductive logic and assemble them using inductive logic.
CREATIVE SKILLS
- We are not only capable of ‘thinking outside the box’ but also ‘within the box’ , ‘across the box’ & create boxes where none exist.
- In creative thinking new is not really NEW, but what is ‘perceived’ as NEW.
- IT IS A DEVELOPED ABILITY.
TIME SKILLS
- We can’t plan time but only plan for time.
- We have a sense of timing rather than an intellect for timing.
- Good time-keeping skills requires developing a sense for TIMING THINGS as well as to TIME THINGS
MONEY SKILLS
- Evolving a sense of money means developing abilities to know which opportunities are WORTH & how to manage things.
- Most of us relate to & deal with money instinctively rather than rationally.
- There is no free lunch.
PEOPLE SKILLS
- Introspection is important for developing good people skills as interaction is.
- Networking is about operating in the KNOW WHO world rather than the KNOW HOW world.
- If meaning not understood properly & in the right context then communication no matter how impressive , fails.
