Benchmark Your
Skill Level
Some people don't like competition because it makes
them work harder, better.
If you are an instrument player
or a racer, will you not compare your instrument or the vehicle with that of
your competitors? These are mere external comparisons of the hardware we use to
make our living or to pursue our profession and hobby.
We should also compare and
evaluate the basic skill set which we have, in order to be the best in our
chosen field. In the era of global competition, anything which is not
internationally marketable cannot exist. In order to be internationally
competitive, we should have international skill level. If you are a golfer, you
should have the skill an international golfer has. If you are a writer, you
should have the writing skill, which an international writer has. The same
applies if you are a marketing manager or a finance manager.
Today, list three basic skills,
which will decide your edge over others in your chosen field. Benchmark your
skill with that of the legend and assess the gap. Then chalk out an action plan
and strategy to narrow the gap.
Do it sincerely and watch your
expertise grow!
