▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that one specific and excellent skill is needed to succeed, because it is impossible to learn many things well. However, I am convinced that developing many different skills is better than focusing on one skill in order to succeed. That is because we can adapt fast changing envirnment, and we need to know various things to be a good leader.
To begin with, improving many skills is a way to adjust ourselves to unpredictable society. To be specific, todays society changes so fast. One industry that was very popular one day becomes unpopular another day. Therefore, if we don`t have many skills, we will end up in declining industry and some of us might lose jobs. For example, in the past, automobile navigation industry prospered. However, the advert of smartphone had a negative effect on this field. People tend to substitute car navigations with cellphones. Thus this indusrty is declining these days. An engineer that only specilized in navigation technique, have to struggle to find another jobs. This is the reason we need to develop many techniques to deal with changes.
Furthermore, in order to be a good leader, we need to be knowlegdeable in many areas. To be specific, when someone starts his career, it doesn`t matter if he only has speciality in one field. But as he get promoted, there are many things he needs to handle. Thus if someone is incapable of covering various things. he will lose the chance to be promoted. For instance, companies consider many aspects, when it comes to selecting leaders. they prefer someone that can supervise overall. This is the reason why many engineers want to advance to MBA course to succeed in the corporation.
To sum up, we need to have many skills to adopt fast changing phenomenon, and companies require employees to be multi-talented leaders. In this regard, I firmly believe that many kills rather than one specific skill are needed to succeed in society.
