How to Identify the Skills You Need Next in Your Career
Do not choose your next skill simply because it is popular. Choose it because it has a relationship with your next desired contribution.
1
Your desired direction
What role, responsibility, project, industry, or type of contribution interests you?
2
The work itself
What capabilities are actually required?
3
Your current profile
Which capabilities do you already possess?
4
The gap
What capability is missing or insufficiently developed? Example: Current: technical specialist. Desired: technical team lead. Potential needs: delegation, coaching, stakeholder communication, prioritization, decision-making, strategic thinking. The question is: "What capability would make me more effective at the next level of contribution I am pursuing?"
Your career is more than your current job title. Understand your natural gifts, skills and values, then use them to make more intentional career decisions.
