Brimming with punchy, practical ideas to improve your day-to-day
effectiveness, Chris Watson's Upskill: 21 keys to professional
growth is the definitive guide to developing the adaptive skills
essential for success at work. In Upskill, adaptive skills
specialist Chris Watson delivers a dynamic snapshot of
easy-to-access development possibilities - providing you with: 840
user-friendly tools and techniques reflecting the latest thinking
on how to extend capability, boost professional growth and take
charge of your career. A rich resource of reliable solutions,
grouped around the twenty-one adaptive skills most valued by
today's employers - including creativity, collaboration and
communication. An abundance of proven approaches, topical insights,
time-saving apps and inspirational videos, as well as helpful
signposts to relevant quotes, books and other resources. Each
chapter focuses on one of the twenty-one skills, and begins with
examples of how the individual skills - which can be practised and
refined throughout a career, and have all been shown to be
associated with greater operational agility - may be observed in
the work environment. This brief introduction is then followed by
forty practical ideas to develop the performance of people.
Although there is no formal hierarchy to the list of suggestions,
all of the ideas have been categorised into three inter-related
clusters for ease of use - encompassing ideas for personal
development, for delivering results and for long-term gain. Within
each of the three clusters, all of the ideas for professional
growth have been laid out in terms of how they can help you respond
and adjust to the requirements of your role and the ever-changing
world of work: Some of the suggestions are tools - apps, templates,
downloads and inventories - which can be picked up and
used/introduced straightaway. Some of the suggestions are
techniques - methods, approaches and procedures - for you to try
out, investigate and explore. The final set of suggestions indicate
where to look for further inspiration - including films,podcasts,
related research and a wide range of suggested reading materials.
The majority of the hints, tips and techniques can be actioned
without having to access any external support or invest in any
additional outlay, and are as useful for new starters in an
organisation as they are for experienced managers. Suitable for
anyone who is committed to developing themselves and their
colleagues, but may not have the time, the resources, the budget or
the inspiration to know where to start.
