::: As practitioners, you are the ultimate authority,
Awww, shucks!
::: and I would like to ask
::: those of you on the list what skills and competencies you
::: value in your employees/colleagues.
The ability to think and work with minimum direction. Drive and ambition,
and the will to exceed at anything they put their mind to.
::: Think of it this way-if you were hiring a technical
::: communicator, what skills would he or she have to possess
::: in order to succeed at your company?
All the above, plus strong writing, publishing, project management,
programming, interpersonal, analytical, and leadership skills.
