Campbell byDeron R. Dantzlerin partial fulfillment of CARD410.June 19, 2005IntroductionThere are literally hundreds of desirable traits in the workplace. Of these, one of the arguably most important is to be well-rounded in the workplace. Many skills can assist an individual in being a well-rounded employee. Oral communication skills, written communication skills, teamwork, technical skills, leadership skills, adaptation skills, computer skills, interpersonal skills and analytic abilities are some of the key factors to a well-rounded employee. While these skills all seem to be of equal ability to the well-rounded employee, the scope of this paper will only delve into a few of the skills preceding. Technical skills, oral communication skills and leadership skills will all be detailed in this review in an attempt to help you (the reader) become a well-rounded employee.
Technical Skills in the WorkplaceTechnical skills are the formal name for the knowledge to perform the task at hand. One acquires technical skills by training in formal school systems or in the work environment. Experience is probably one of the most important factors in growing your technical skill in a subject. The importance of technical skills in the workplace is undeniable. Without the knowledge of the subject at hand, there is virtually no way possible to be a well-rounded person. Without technical skills you are not likely to be able to even do the job at hand.
Heres a brief story for example about an individual in the workplace, and how his lack of technical skills hindered his ability to be well rounded in the workplace, and eventually cost him his job. John was a college graduate with a degree in Computer Science. He had completed his degree with a GPA of 3.5. He began his search for a job immediately following his graduation and landed a great job in the technology field based on his merit and because of his professionalism and great communication skills. However, John had very little practical knowledge that is used in the IT field. He had no past experience beyond his degree, no industry level certifications. While his education had trained him in many different facets of computer technology, he lacked the one driving technical skill to help him determine where he would be best suited. It turns out the job that he landed was in computer networking, and when his initial review came up in 3 months, the company decided that they were going to let him go because of his lack of technical skills and because they wanted someone more experienced who actually knew how to do the job. Because of Johns failure to be a well-rounded employee, and failure to have technical skills, he lost his job.
But the big question is: What does John do now? How can he obtain the technical skills that he lacked before so that he will be able to keep his next job? John was mislead into believing that his degree would provide him with all of the information that he needed in order to compete in the workplace. One of the options that he should have heavily considered in college is internships. Now he decides that he will take some certification level courses to help get him on track. He uses these courses to build his confidence level and his technical skill set. He excels in his next job because his great oral communication skills are a wonderful supplement to his technical knowledge.
Oral Communication SkillsFor obvious reasons, technical skills are important in the workplace. Likewise, oral communication skills are a no-brainer in the workplace as well as in our personal lives. The National Association of Colleges and Employers conducted a survey of hundreds of employers to determine the skills they desire in potential employees. The result showed overwhelmingly that oral communication skills were the most important to the sample set (
Based on this information and common sense, one can easily see the importance of oral communication skills in the workplace. It is vital than individuals be able to express themselves and understand others to be successful in the work environment.
There are several oral communication skills that are the keys to positive communication.ListeningPositive attitude and a genuine regard for othersHonestyOpenness and willingness to share about oneselfFlexibility (open-minded)Sense of humorInterpretation (Getting the right message)There are oodles of books on the subject of oral communication. Many of these books will help a reader understand how to build oral communication skills. One of the major issues is not shying away from speaking opportunities and actually practicing and taking time to build on your communication skills. Great oral communication skills start on the inside. You need to have great self-esteem and a great sense of self in order to be an effective oral communicator.
Dealing with the Oral Community: How to Develop a Positive Self-Esteem
It requires a little research, but I find a great book by Michael E. McFarland that provides answers to a variety of critical questions. The book includes an impressive list of personal essays written by over 75 people. Some of the books help the reader develop a positive self-esteem and others can help improve emotional health and confidence.
If you are feeling depressed or are taking medication for anxiety, anxiety disorder, depression, or any other severe disorder, then read one of these “Psychic Self-Esteem” books. You will notice there are so many positive self-esteem books on the market now. So, why do people want to read them, especially on their own pain, anxiety, or other personal issues when you can read the whole book on a computer? The answers are in the chapters on “Psychic self-Esteem” on page 41, which is really one of the greatest mental-health books I’ve ever read. If you are a self-help writer, but only feel tired of talking about yourself and you feel depressed and anxious, or a depressed person, then you are probably not going to buy this book.
Practical self-esteem books by Dr. John T. M. Huddleston, Dr. E. S. Ellis, and Dr. J. I. A. King.

Huddleston Mental Healing: Discovering the Art of Self-Esteem I”: The Self-Esteem and Mental Health For more self-positive ideas on the mind and mental health, such as: - Self-Esteem: Where and How it Can Be Practiced In the book that Huddleston wrote about his study of the psychological side of self-empowerment, he describes how a self-positive thinking process can turn a person into an effective healer so that they can feel the real world more fully. He said, This process is called the healing "body re-experience" but is still called a healing body, 'reengagement' or 'body transformation'. He also says it is called the "cognition-enhancing process" but is much more holistic, and is called "mental cleansing" or 'healthfulness of mind". The books that Dr. M. Huddleston and Dr. Ellis have done have helped to bring awareness and compassion for people who find the healing power of meditation, meditation practices, self-improvement (self-love), emotional healing (body rejuvenation), self-control (sadness), and relaxation (relight in the mind) to them.

Huddleston writes: "Most people who experience significant personal growth in their lives have a negative impact on the world around them, but we don't have to be that way. Rather we have to overcome and take a hard look into these negative experiences and discover that they are part and parcel of the experience. This gives us a way to take control over our lives and let them feel that they had this great life and were living there. This lets us know that they are loved unconditionally and that their experience cannot be taken away. This idea is not new.

What Makes Self-Esteem Work for You
One thing I learned from both of these books is that talking about a problem can help to help you gain “mental health” and “mindset” when addressing your own problems rather than hurting or making you feel sorry for yourself. Being comfortable being positive on a life-changing problem, rather than being depressed and anxious, will also make you take time to develop feelings of comfort as well as of being in control of your own situation (this is a hard concept to explain to anyone who has experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions). A positive attitude can take over a negative situation and have all sorts of positive side-effects without leaving you feeling frustrated or upset about it. Some of the “psychic self-teaching” is done by friends or family and others are self-help guides or seminars like this one conducted by my friend and co-author, Dr. Michael E. McFarland. Some of it is quite basic, some of it is in some deep-seated beliefs and emotions with the goal of helping you develop a positive mindset.
One of the great things about self-teaching is that it allows you to think of your own situation differently. It starts with your thoughts, feelings, expectations and reactions; that changes as you learn to respond to them more, and then it builds to becoming the very focus of your self-development. You can teach yourself to think better and be more compassionate, more compassionate, and more compassionate. The only mistake you make in treating yourself as something else is to think that you are just giving up. You are doing everything you can for people you love, making them better

Often people lacking in oral communication skills are not only not well-rounded in the workplace, they also have a hard time getting a position in the workforce. This is especially the case in which customer service and customer relations are involved. This shows with obvious reasons the importance of begin a great oral communicator.
Lets take a look at Frank in our second example. Frank had worked at an organization for nearly 2 years. He was known as being somewhat shy and reserved. He has otherwise performed very well on the job. He is great at the technical job that he performs. Recently, a vice president of the company
