Attitude. Skills can be taught relatively easily; a positive, can-do, willing, attitude is more difficult to engender. I've been hired, and would hire, because of attitude. Attitude can make or break not just the job, but the individual! Thanks for asking.

Dear Tim, thanks for your detailed comments. I completely agree. It is great to see organisations are placing more emphasis on it rather than just the profit-line. The thing is this – are schools and colleges equipping the students with the necessary skills to match the employers expectations? I am hoping to raise awareness of the importance and see the gap narrowed….best wishes.

Dear Sravan, thanks for your comments and I couldn’t agree with you more! My aim is to raise awareness of how important it is so schools and colleges can pay more attention to equipping students for the workplace.

Hello Viv

I have worked in large and small organisations, public and private. Much of the time devoted to learning and development not only in the UK but also in various parts of Europe. And for me attitude (or behaviour as it is sometimes referred to) beats the rest hands down.

Nowadays, I work predominantly as an Investors in People specialist and so try to persuade organisations to raise the bar on skill, knowledge and behaviour. To give you an example – I can give people the ingredients and menu to make a loaf of bread (knowledge) and I cna run a half day workshop so they can practice how to make the loaf till it is really good (skill) but I can’t necessarily persuade them to do it (behaviour). When i talk to organisations about recruitment, I always say that they should recruit “behaviour” as the others can be taught.

Sure, it will depend on the role and the circumstances, but behaviour is still top of the pile.

Viv, a person with an attitude will never get into unnecessary arguments because he knows what it is going to fetch him. In my experience, i have seen people who are skilled yet with no attitude to understand and correct what his fellow colleagues are saying, which ultimately will prove to be correct.
When one understands that every human being divine…he naturally will leave his bios nature and can find a solution for his internal sufferings.
