Time Management.
I work two jobs and go to school. As you can imagine time is a very important thing to me where I don't have enough time in the day to get everything done that I need to. One skill that I have learned very well is how to manage my time. I believe that time management is a very important thing to learn in a working environment, one can be given a lot of projects to do and it is important that the employee makes a time schedule when to get everything done. Time management is a skill that I think everybody needs to learn. I clearly have a problem with procrastination always doing my assignment on sunday night. But the smart people are prepared and get things done before the very last minute. I believe you can even get things done better when you put more time into them instead of doing them at the last minute. When you set time aside to do things and actually use that time time to do it a great product could come out of it. With work there are tasks that I need to get done and it is always nice when I get all of those things done before I do anything else. With time management even more things can get done.

Leadership
As we work in teams for our group project, I learn that having a leader is very important. When no one takes control of what is going on, its like running around with your head off. People are still willing to work and such, but its hard to get things done by a certain time period. So I think it is important for everyone to learn to be a leader. I thought I would list some important skills a leader should have. A leader should have a positive attitude. As a leader there is a lot going on around you, some of which may be good, some which may not be exactly what is expected. The leader should keep the atmosphere around him a fresh and healthy one. That way he or she is able to convince the people about the decisions taken by him.
Of course a leader should be able to be a problem solver. When a problem arises he or she should be able to take a step back and find the best way to fix the situation. A leader should be open. Other people are going to have ideas on how to get things done. If the leader is open the other people in the group will be more willing to share the ideas that they have and that way your project could be better. A leader needs to be a good listener, he or she should make appropriate decisions at a certain time. A leaders should have a good sense of time. There are a lot of deadlines when working on a project, so he or she should keep his or her commitments and make sure that the others also keep theirs. A leader should be able to delegate responsibility and authority. By doing this it takes weight of his or her shoulders, and also makes others feel responsible and it helps them feel important and build confidence.

5 skills for an employee.
Companies hire and fire everyday. Even in this economy there are still jobs available for those looking. Here are five skills that I believe to be important for a future employee to have.
1. Motivation.
An employee needs to have motivation. They need to be able to do things on their own and not be told to do things multiple times. I think it is very important for an employee to be able to do things that he or she is not told to do but he or she does things they know need to be done.
2. Typing.
My Brother-in-law is over Human Resources in his company. When I asked him what are five skills he looks for in an employee, the first thing he said was typing. In most office jobs, typing is a very important commodity. A fast typer is more likely to get more achieved.
3. Time Management
Time Management is important to those in school, and even those who are not in school. For those who manage their time wisely they are able to accomplish more and be able to get things done when they are supposed to be done.
4.People Skills.
Of course getting along with people is a very important skill to have when it comes to working in a business. If a person doesn't get a long with others, they make it a difficult place to work. Also when it comes to the company's clients, it is important for employees to get along with those as well.
5. Honesty. Last but every bit as important, is Honesty. An Employer wants to be able to trust his or her employees. Without trust it would be hard to leave people on their own to do their own thing. When you can trust someone it makes things to be so much more stress free. Trust is so important.
