The path to success sometimes require certain skills to complete it. Previously we published a post about the best habits and values you must have to succeed, well this time we’re going to take a look to 5 of the premium skills of the successful ones.

These skills or qualities are very common among artists, scientists, leaders and successful businessmen, some of them are easy to acquire if you’re willing to do so, others are gift, we are born with them, but there are others that take a lot of time , hard work, dedication and practice.

So let’s take a look at them, and try to define if you have them or not, and if you don’t, there’s no problem there are some things you stillc an do to acquire those skills.

• Leadership .- Tough to instill and almost impossible to teach, leadership is the most obvious skill you need if you want to scale the ladder of success. Whether you lead by example or with your voice, can you motivate people to work toward a common goal, but you’ll need strenght, integrity and conviction, but also a lot of confidence.

• Knowledge .- The quest to achieve success is incessant, so it is theques to achieve knowledge, but I’m not talking about the things you study , I’m talking about those things you learn and you use, knowledge is more than just words in books. Knowledge is wisdom and power, you have to be informed about almost everything, you have to know things about all themes.

• Vision .- One of the most difficult ones, it is the power to see further to go where no one else can, to dream the future, Howard Hughes, Bill Gates, John D. Rockefeller, great men, but above all, great visionaries.

• Communication .- A great asset of all leaders, intangible and effective, communication is an ability that is acquired by proper listening. Many forget that fact. Eye contact, patience, a versatile vocabulary, and a smooth vocal cadence are necessary to get your word listen.

• Flexibility .- No matter what discipline you majored in at school, you cannot advance today without knowing a bit of everything, as I said before , Knowledge is power, but so it is to be flexible, learn to listen other people’s ideas, be flexible with other’s suggestions. Become familiar with the rest of the disciplines that surround you.
