Got leadership skills? Want a job?  Companies are looking for leaders to move into executive positions.

This week’s issue of Newsweek, reports “recruiters are desperate for top-tier talent.”

Jeff Joerres, chief executive of Manpower recruitment agency told the World Economic Forum earlier this year that “Thirty percent of employers across the globe continue to struggle to fill positions available.”

Best skills to have to get a job in management, or as an executive?

How are your tech skills?  Tech-based professions such as logistics, biotech, health services and info tech means that top-tier scientists, engineers and computer types are ideally positioned for the best executive position openings

IF. . .

If they also have the so called soft-skills associated with emotional intelligence, and adaptability, given the fact that China continues to grow economically, and businesses in India are expanding at 30 percent a year, comfort in other cultures could be the mother lode combo for a top job marketable resume.

So, if you’re not technical, what to do?  We know for a fact that soft skills are a deal breaker.  Doesn’t matter how technically savvy a person is if she or he can’t work in teams.

Can you teach tech people to strengthen their people skills?  Might be an area to look into.
