VALUES AND SKILLS
- Values help us to ‘become’ while we need skills to ‘do’.
- Values act as a base for the skills and hence preceed skills in their importance.
- Values are internal –deal with purity of mind and soul. While skills are external – deal with functioning well at job.
- Values bring about universal good (software aspect). Skills bring about achievement of tasks (hardware aspect).
- Values are enduring and do not change with time. But skills have to be updated regularly and change with passage of time.
E.g. Excellent service to the customer may be a value of the company. Personal visits may be the method used by the company. With the advent of technology, the company may use personalized e-mails etc. here the skill is changing but the service orientation (value) remains constant.
