Every now and then it is important to take a personal inventory of your skills and abilities. I don\u2019t mean an end of the year surface-level, quick, \u201chey, I\u2019m great\u201d type of thing. I\u2019m talking about an honest, candid evaluation of yourself as a leader. A deep look inside.<\/p>\n
Every time I have done this over the years, I also ask myself, \u201cWhat skills do I need to develop to be more successful in the future?\u201d There are four must have leadership skills on my list this year. They are:<\/p>\n
Learner<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Every leadership book speaks about how important it is for leader to be able to handle and manage change (when it happens). Here\u2019s a new flash \u2014 everything now moves so fast that the new norm is a constant state of change. The only way to keep up is to have an insatiable desire to learn new things and the ability to synthesis that learning into actions that will better prepare you and your organization. You must be a learning every day.<\/p>\n Champion<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Unless you are the CEO or President, just about every project, initiative, or new business endeavor you propose is likely to be met with skepticism.

It\u2019s time for leaders to have an extremely high level of comfort with all the web tools surrounding social networking like URL shorteners, monitoring applications etc, in addition to the actual sites themselves \u2013 like Twitter, LinkedIn etc. I\u2019d even go so far to say that a basic knowledge of HTML is going to be a prerequisite for any job in a few short years.
