Em tempos de mares revoltos, só a criatividade tem a solução

PAULO VADAS
Sem querer responder pelo Prof. Gabriel, mas tambem curioso em saber qual a importancia da criatividade enquanto atributo que as empresas buscam em seus funcionários, fiz uma pesquisa e descobri que o ranking depende das companhias que são entrevistadas. Porem, a Skills You Need, empresa especializada em pesquisas na área de competencias para a empregabilidade, faz o seguinte comentário a respeito:
What are the Most Important Soft Skills?
Its hard to judge which soft skills are most important, but this list is broadly what employers mean when they talk about good soft skills and the skills which are most likely to enable you to build constructive working relationships with others, or to be a constructive and helpful employee.
1. Communication Skills
Communication skills are always top of the essential skills list in any job advertisement. People with strong communication skills can build relationships (from the initial building rapport through to a longer-term relationship), listen well, and vary their communication to suit the circumstances.
If you spend time on nothing else, work on your communication skills.
2. Making Decisions
Valued by employers for many reasons, being able to make decisions is key to getting on in life. Sometimes the actual decision doesnt even matter; what matters is that you have made one and moved on.
3. Self Motivation
People who are self-motivated get on by themselves. They dont need close supervision and they are good to work with because they are generally positive about life and can be counted upon to keep going. It also helps to work on your personal resilience and adaptability to change.
4. Leadership Skills
These are the set of soft skills that we least expect someone to develop by themselves. There are many leadership training courses available and much has been written about how to develop your leadership skills.
Our leadership skills pages describe many of the skills needed for effective leadership and how to develop your leadership style.
5.Team-Working Skills
Like leadership skills, there are many training courses to teach you how to work well in a team. However, there is also plenty of thinking to suggest that good communication skills, particularly good listening skills, together with an ability to build rapport will go a long way to support your ability to work well in a team.
6. Creativity and Problem Solving Skills
Creativity and problem-solving skills are highly valued because they are hard to develop. There are many people who believe that creative thinkers are born, not made, and there are certainly some people who find these skills much easier. But, like other skills, you can develop them if you work to do so and our pages on these topics will give you some ideas about how to do this.
7. Time Management and ability to work under pressure
Many would say that these two skills, which often go hand-in-hand, are more an attitude than a skill. However they can also be developed and honed, which is why we include them as skills. Highly valued by employers, they are also very useful for organising a family or a team, and for making sure that the job gets done.
A final word
Of course this list is not exhaustive. Just one glance round SkillsYouNeed will show you that there is a huge range of soft skills. Any given employer or individual may place more or less emphasis on these or others.
However, work to develop the skills in this list is likely to pay off in a job search, in any job or career on which you embark, and in life more generally.

Dr. Gabriel,
Gostei do seu artigo e tenho lido os anteriores. No entanto, fiquei intrigada. Se a criatividade é tão importante, por que ela aparece apenas com 18,2% no final da lista do soft skills?
Obrigada.
