1. THE ABILITY TO MANAGE A DIVERSE ENVIRONMENT

With four generations of employees in the workplace, an ability to understand and manage diversity is increasingly important, says workplace consultant Stan Kimer.

 

"People from different generations in general have different views of the workplace, motivations, and communication preferences," he says. "Managers need to use different management and communications styles for each employee."

2. KNOWLEDGE OF OTHER CULTURES

CEOs name cultural competence as one of the most critical leadership skills, according to a recent DDI survey, but managers rank working with people from different cultures as their weakest skill, says Paula Caligiuri, professor of international business and strategy at Northeastern University.

 

"The disconnect poses an opportunity for those who can demonstrate cultural agility in 2016," she says, adding that the skill includes tolerance of ambiguity, perspective taking, resilience, and humility.

3. A GLOBAL MIND-SET

An ability to work with diverse cultures also helps companies compete as they conduct business in other countries. In today’s business climate, it’s increasingly crucial to have an understanding of the political and societal impacts on business across multiple countries.

 

"Almost any company can do business worldwide and employ talent all over the globe," says Kimer. "The fastest-growing economies are in Asia and South America, and a key skill will be knowing how to market, sell, and communicate in these global markets."

4. EFFECTIVE CONFLICT RESOLUTION

 

Companies are placing an increasing emphasis on team members who can work well with others, address issues as they arise, and mitigate major conflicts, says Nihal Parthasarathi, CEO and cofounder of the learning opportunity websiteCourseHorse.

5. A WILLINGNESS TO LEARN

Another skill needed to be successful is flexibility and openness to learning something new, says Karen Southall Watts, author of Messenger: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Communication.

 

"Gone are the days when a professional in any field could consider their education done and over," she says. Instead, you must be willing to learn and accept that you will always be adding new skills.

6. THE ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY OUTSOURCE

One-third of the U.S. workforce is freelance, and sites like Upwork have 10 million independent contractors doing more than $1 billion of work each year, says innovation consultant Jane Young. But companies need to be able to effectively hire and manage outside talent.

 

"The primary skill required for successfully outsourcing a task or project is the ability to describe what you want clearly and concisely," she says. "It’s important to bear in mind that English may not be the freelancer’s first language, so articulating your requirements simply, with examples where possible, will help avoid any misunderstandings, delays, and disappointments."

7. STRONG COMMUNICATION SKILLS

 

As technical skills continue to be in high demand, an ability to pair them with communication skills will be critical to advancing your career, says Daniel Alexander Usera, career consultant and professor at Arkansas State University.

8. AN UNDERSTANDING OF ANALYTICS

 

Analytics are relevant to all facets of your business and career, and to get ahead, you will need to be able to read and understand them, says Ken Bodnar, chief technology officer of the online auto auction Selectbidder.com.

I believe job search doesn't require critical thinking at all. Recruiter just need someone who can take order  with analytical skill, problem solving and fulfilled JD(job description). In fact, if you possess truly decision making and leadership skill. You won't stay in such company because company wants dumb people with fake confident.
