想在职场混得风生水起？这12个技能很重要！
无论你是初出茅庐的毕业生，还是想更上一层楼的职场老手，你都必须“软硬”实力兼备。在这个瞬息万变的就业环境中，哪些核心技能才能帮助你立于不败之地呢？
1. Learnability 学习能力
We’ll begin with learnability because it is arguably the most
important 21st-century skill you will need to succeed. Alvin Toffler
said, "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot
read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn."
That's because, in an environment where new skills emerge as fast as
others fade, success is less about what you already know and more about
adapting your skills by growing and expanding your knowledge base, so
you can use new information and skills to respond to whatever is
happening.
我们从学习能力说起，因为学习能力应该是21世纪取得成功所需的最重要的技能。未来学大师阿尔文·托夫勒说过：“21世纪的文盲不是那些不会读写的人，而是那些不能学习、不能抛弃旧知识和重新学习的人。”这是因为，在一个新旧技能飞速更替的环境中，成功与你已有的知识关系没那么大，而更多的关乎于你通过扩大知识面来适应环境的能力，这样无论发生了什么，你都可以运用新知识新技能来应对。
2. Resilience 韧劲
Setbacks and failures are a part of life, but how you choose to deal with those roadblocks is what is critical to your success. Resilience is the ability to bounce back in the face of obstacles and failures. When you are resilient, you don't focus on the ups and downs. Instead, you stay focused on your long-term goals, and you never lose confidence in your ability to prevail. By helping you face challenges and difficulties, resilience also enables you to handle stress more positively.
挫折和失败是生活的一部分，但选择何种心态来应对挫折对你的成功至关重要。适应力就是在挫折和失败前重新振作的能力。如果你有很强的韧劲，你不会关注那些起起落落。你关注的是你的长期目标，而且你对自己战胜困难的能力永远信心满满。适应力能帮助你面对挑战和困难，从而让你更积极地处理压力。
3. Agility 灵活
As the work landscape shifts, learning to be agile is a critical skill, as yesterday’s solutions do not solve tomorrow’s problems. At the heart of being agile is shifting gears when the context calls for it and responding accordingly to the needs of your workplace, clients or industry trends.
随着职场格局的改变，学会灵活成了一项关键技能，因为昨天的方案不能解决明天的问题。灵活的核心就是在时势需要的时候要改变工作方式，灵活应对职场、客户或产业趋势的需求。
4. Collaboration 合作能力
In our increasingly hyper-connected world, we’re no longer expected to work just as individuals or only in silos. Our projects have become more complex, so the ability to work effectively as part of a team has also grown in importance. Given the increasingly global nature of work, your ability to collaborate, share knowledge and contribute to teams that can capitalize on a diversity of thinking and perspective is critical.
在我们这个日益高度连通的世界里，人们不能再各自为营。我们的项目变得更加复杂，因此在团队中高效工作的能力也越来越重要。考虑到日益全球化的工作性质，你的合作能力、分享知识的能力以及对团队做出贡献的能力非常关键，这样你的团队才能从多样化的思维和视角中获益。
5. Verbal communication 口头交流能力
Advancing in your career is not just based on what you do. There’s a good chance that at some point in your career you’ll have to use strong verbal communication skills so you can sell others on your ideas, products, or services. Whether you're needing to explain your value when you are being considered for a promotion, presenting as part of a team project, or speaking on stage, you need to be able to communicate well and convey strong, persuasive ideas.
你的晋升之路不仅基于你的工作成果。你在职业生涯的某些时候很可能要运用强大的口头交流能力来向别人推销你的想法、产品或服务。无论你是需要在升职面试时阐述自己的价值，还是做团队项目的演示，抑或是在台上发言，你都需要良好的口头交流能力来传达强烈而有说服力的观点。
6. Written communication 书面沟通能力
We live in an era of tweets and sound bites, but good written communication skills still matter when it comes to your career. Whether you are sending professional emails, communicating with a client, trying to deliver a coherent business plan, or anything in between, you should be able to communicate quickly, accurately and effectively.
虽然我们生活在推特和语音信息的时代，但良好的书面沟通能力对你的职业发展依然重要。无论你是要发送工作邮件，和客户沟通，提交条理清晰的商业计划，或是其他信件来往，你都应该能够快速、准确和有效地进行交流。
7. Empathy 同理心
The ability to empathize with others, or see things from their perspective by understanding their emotions and reactions, is a fundamental part of how we interact with one another. Communicating genuinely and authentically with others is vital because even in instances when you disagree with your coworkers on elements of a work project, for example, empathy allows you to demonstrate to others that they are seen and heard.
和他人感同身受的能力，或理解别人的情绪和反应，从对方角度看问题，是我们彼此互动的基本组成部分。真诚的交流很重要，因为有时候即使你不同意同事对工作项目细节的看法，你的同理心也能让别人知道自己没有被无视。
8. Creativity 创造力
Creativity is a crucial skill we all need because, in our fast-changing times, employers value employees who can look beyond the present. Creative workers are the ones who ask why. They question, they are curious, and in so doing, they develop new ideas and solutions.
创造力是我们都需要的一项关键技能，因为在我们这个瞬息万变的时代，雇主看重的是那些有远见的雇员。有创造力的员工喜欢问为什么。他们提出问题，他们很好奇，这样他们才能萌生新思路、想出新方法。
9. Problem-solving 解决问题的能力
Being a good problem solver is essential because employers value people who can work through challenges on their own or as an effective member of a team by defining the issues, brainstorming alternatives, sharing thoughts, and then making sound decisions.
善于解决问题很重要，因为雇主看重那些能自己战胜挑战的员工，或通过界定问题、集思广益想出替代方案、分享心得并作出明智决定的高效团队成员。
10. Leadership 领导力
The importance of building the right culture at companies cannot be overstated, so having the skills to be able to coach and empower others, and to motivate those around you do their best work, is highly valued for success.
建设良好的企业文化的重要性再强调也不为过，因此对别人进行引导和激励、调动身边人的积极性使其把工作做到最好，这种能力极具价值。
11. Negotiation 协商能力
Whether you’re in salary discussions, finalizing a deal with a client, or trying to find common ground with your teammates during a project, having strong and effective negotiation skills are extremely important. Being a good negotiator allows you to get to reach goals while you build relationships, which is a significant part of being successful in your career.
无论你是协商薪水，和客户敲定协议，或试图在项目中和组员达成共同意见，拥有强大高效的协商能力都是极为重要的。良好的协商能力可以让你在建立人际关系的同时达到目标，这是获得事业成功的一个重要部分。
12. Technology 技术
Technology is changing at an unprecedented pace, so even beyond the technical skills you need to master for your job, keeping up with technology is essential because of the tools that help you manage your career, differentiate yourself in the market, brand yourself, and build the critical relationships that you need to be successful.
技术正在以前所未有的速度更新，因此即使新技能超出了你工作所需的范围，跟上技术发展依然很关键，因为这些技术工具能帮助你管理自己的职业生涯，在市场上脱颖而出，树立个人口碑，建立成功路上所需的重要人际关系。
