What are some of the most valuable career skills in your opinion? Do you think these skills can be self-taught?

Strong communication skills.

•         Problem analysis, problem solving and decision making.

•         Organizational skills and customer service orientation.

•         Adaptability and ability to work under pressure.

•         Project Management skills: Influencing, Leading, Negotiating and Delegating abilities.

•         Accuracy and attention to details.

One needs to have good interpersonal relations with other because everything revolves around interacting and communicating. It is important to have excellent communication skills and to be assertive so that one is able to stand for oneself when there is a need to do so. All of these can be self taught and be improved as one continues working and climb the corporate ladder.

agree with the experts...........

I truly believe handeling work stress is the most valuable career skill. It can definitely be self-taught when the employee has got the descipline and the determination for it. 

commitment, ability to work within a team.

Yes, I believe skills can be self taught but with external materials like books, CDs and most importantly the internet which makes it all the more easier.

the art of self adapting to any situation possible ...and yes it can be self tought ..plus alway stay hungry to learn somehting new ..

The most important one these days in my opinion is the Adaptabolity and the versatility of a person, and the fact that she can find her self suitable in many situations even when they are contradictional. 

The time of specialitys is gone now a days you need to get as much knoledge in verry diferent areas as you can, the much knoledge you get the much value you have. 

And yes it's something you can work on and developpe with experience,curiosity and a permenant will to go forword with your career, and to be a better person.

Most career skills are self taught and experienced first hand. Communication skills, team building, Analytical and problem solving skills, Management and leadership, Inter personal skills, you do not possess this unless you have learned through by working side by side with both superiors and subordinates. And for me as an Administrator and Manager these skill set are some of the most valuable. 

Other skills can be secured by education and training such as computer and technical skills, academic competence, and specific skill required in certain fields. However, your success is solely dependent on your capability to demonstrate these skills at the right time and place.

I believe that the most important skills that an employee can have are interpersonal skills. These are the soft skills that in my opinion are very difficult to learn. Having the ability to deal with people in a professional manner while having the skills to negotiate around difficult human emotions and disagreements is one of the most important valuable attributes in the workplace. Skills that are central to the completion of a task at work can be taught, but if an individual doesn't have the interpersonal skills to develop relationships it can make the workplace very difficult. 

Strong work ethics, communication, punctuality, friendliness, helpfulness
