I'm just wondering because rather ironically my job involves a fair proportion of attending meetings and liaising with many different stakeholders to develop a solution acceptable to all.
So obviously I need negotiation skills and the ability to chair meetings and make decisions. However, in my job I've always had an experienced manager who does all this stuff. My last manager was 47 years old (I'm 29). So obviously he's got 20 years experience more than me.
But when we had annual appraisals it always got mentioned about 'communication skills' and the fact that I don't say much in meetings (unless I get asked). So I generally hate having appraisals because I get criticised about how I am.
Apart from this aspect of my work I actually think I'm a lot better than most people at writing reports, interpreting information and seem to have a good grasp of whether something will work or not.
