Top Talent - 9 Universal Competencies

Working with identyfing top characteristics of successful employees, I got into the book of Ralf Knegtmans “Agile Talent”. The author refers to 9 universal competencies,  which he obtained in many years of research and experience and which help us to identify the top talents. These competencies are:

• authenticity and creativity
• passion and self-motivation
• achieving top performance at the right moment
• maintaining the ability to learn
• having the skill to reduce complexity
• knowing how to set ambitious, yet realistic goals
• being proactive in solving problems
• being slightly lazy or quickly bored
• possessing courage along with confidence

In my next post I will present the concept of Agile Talent. Now I would like to invite you to listen to the author.
