雇主看重什么？他们想从雇员那里寻找什么品质？如果你是求职者或雇员，抑或从事人力资源相关工作的人员，去发展并提升以下10项品质，对你的未来和现在的老板来说都是有意义的。

1. Adaptability. How well do you adjust to changes, small and large? Can you switch priorities rapidly and without complaint? When you understand personal motivators, you find a way to make change work for you and others.

1.适应性。无论是大的变化还是小的变化，你如何去适应它们？你能迅速调整事物的优先顺序而不抱怨吗？当你理解了个人的激励因素时，你会找到一种改变自己和他人的方式。

2. Accessing, analyzing, and synthesizing information. Organizations are acquiring more data due to technology. Tools such as customer relationship databases, newsletter subscribers, website analytics, surveys, and social media followers each require interpretation. Making sense out of it all takes an analytical approach, therefore you will want to develop your ability to translate information into meaningful return on investment data.

2.获取、分析和综合信息的能力。科技让公司机构可以获得更多的数据，比如客户关系数据库、新闻订阅器、网站分析工具、调查工具等工具，还有社交媒体关注者等信息，这些都需要加以理解。要想理解这些就要学会分析，因而你需要发展一种能力，来把信息转换为有意义回报的投资数据。

3. Communication. There are more communication vehicles today and each has a different purpose. Not to mention people have different preferences. Be able to master as many as possible and know how and when to use each for maximum results.

3.交流能力。现在新的交流方式层出不穷，每一种都有着不同的用途。更不要提每个人都有着不同的喜好了。要尽可能多地掌握这些交流方式，知道怎样用、何时用能够收到最好的效果。

4. Critical thinking. How well do you use logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions or approaches to problems? Good to Great by Jim Collins shows you how success isn't always about being the best, it is about doing the right things.

4.批判性思维。面对问题的各种解决方案或方法，你运用逻辑和推理来找出它们各自的优缺点能力有多强？吉姆•柯林斯的《从优秀到伟大》告诉你，成功并不总是做最好的，而是要做正确的事情。

5. Collaboration. Cooperating with others and being a likeable team member has become important as departments and divisions and groups build solutions together. Guy Kawasaki, former chief evangelist of Apple and co-founder of Alltop.com, suggests that being likable and trustworthy, plus framing a cause that others can embrace can change hearts, minds, and actions.

5.合作。由于现在部门和集团间经常一起解决问题，所以和他人一起合作，做一个让人喜欢的队员非常重要。苹果公司的创始人之一、Alltop网站的合作创始人盖伊•川崎认为，可爱、可信，再加上一个大家都赞成的原因，可以改变大家的观点、想法和行为。

6. Entrepreneurship. An entrepreneur has a determination and hunger to succeed. They have a sense of ownership to the project or task and will do almost anything to make it successful.

6.企业家精神。企业家都有决心并渴望成功。他们对项目或任务有一种强烈的主人翁意识，会想尽办法获得成功。

7. Global citizenship. We are no longer isolated countries. We are a global community providing services and products without boundaries. Just read Thomas L. Friedman's The World Is Flat to better understand how and why this has occurred and will continue to exist.

7.全球公民意识。世界上的国家不再是孤立的。我们生活在世界村中，提供服务和产品不再有边界。读一读托马斯•弗里德曼的《世界是平的》就能更好地理解这一切为什么会发生、如何发生，以及为什么这种情况会继续存在下去。

8. Innovation. Challenge the status quo. To grow and compete, individuals and organizations need to innovate or develop and implement new ideas.

8.创新。挑战现状。要想成长和竞争，个人和组织都需要创新来发展或实现新的想法。
9. Leadership. As a leader of yourself or a leader of others, growing strong leadership skills will help you thrive and survive. The organizations that embrace today's leadership style are not using control and command techniques. They build a culture of mutual respect based on a common mission and vision and each individual is empowered to take ownership.

9.领导力。作为自己或他人的领导，不断增强的领导技能会帮助你生存和发展。从前的领导风格，比如牢牢控制和发布命令，已经不再适合现在的公司机构。现在的领导风格是基于共同的使命和远景设想，建立了一种互相尊重的文化，每个人都是主人。

10. Productivity and accountability. At the end of the day, what matters to an organization is profitability. Can you track your productivity to the bottom line? Are you holding yourself and others accountable for not just meeting, but exceeding expectations?

10.生产效率和责任感。 在一天结束的时候，对一个组织而言，最重要的是利润。看看自己的效率到底如何？你能对自己和他人负责吗？不仅仅是实现自己的承诺，而是要做得比承诺的还要好？
