why its better than other knowledge

1. Is communication skill is more important than knowledge in any field? I would like you to give an example. Sholay is the best movie. This movie has all ingredients which a viewer require. Suppose after making of the movie it would have not been released, then this picture would have not that status which it has now. In other words it was presented before the world I.e communication, people viewed it, considered and made it great. In the same way if one has lot of knowledge but cannot communicatie , he cannot influence the society. A person having 50% knowledge and 80% communication skill is better than having 80% knowledge and 50 communication skill.

2. Everything is important in its own place. A good communication skill is necessary to communicate your knowledge to other people and get the work done. What you know is your internal quality having no benefits to others unless it is communicated in the right manner so that it is also understood by others. However, if you are merely a great communicator without having the requisite knowledge, you derive no benefit from your art of communication. In fact, by trying to impress someone merely by your oratory without any substance reduces your reputation and negate the advantage of your skill of communication.

3. If we can compare knowledge to be like our bank balance, communication is like your ability to withdraw the amount. If you have millions of bucks in your bank account but you don’t have the ability to withdraw that money, it is useless for you. At the same time, if you have the skill to withdraw money but you have nothing in your bank, it is again useless. Hard work complements and supplements both the communication skill as well as your knowledge. You can’t become knowledgeable by doing nothing. It is only through hard work that you acquire knowledge and develop your communication skill.

4. Communication skills and knowledge are both important in any field, and they often complement each other. Having knowledge in a particular field is crucial for performing tasks and making informed decisions. However, communication skills are equally important for conveying ideas, collaborating with others, and explaining complex concepts. In many cases, the ability to effectively communicate one's knowledge can be just as important as the knowledge itself. Good communication can lead to better teamwork, problem-solving, and overall success in a given field.

5. Having spent a considerable time with a lot of people of diverse background and seen closely people working in various domain I think I might have a perspective that can help here. Now before going into the details of the answer, I am assuming the context of this question is the field of career/professional development and achieving success there. Now I am not at the top of any success pyramids but I have seen many people who seem to have achieved what they wish for. Now, success in itself is a very hazy and broad term so for the sake of discussion let us assume a very generic definition that might apply to many, “A good amount of money and ample time to do things which one always wanted to do in life”.

6. Now we have three elements here which we are assuming governs the dynamics of the ecosystem which shall lead us to a successful life, viz. Communication Skills, Knowledge and Hard Work. As many have already told its the right mix of all three that shall lead to a successful outcome. But let’s look at this in a causal framework because that’s how most of things in world works. What are communication skills essentially and why are they needed? In a nutshell they are the abilities to clearly articulate your thoughts to someone. Next question, what will you articulate or rather what will be your thoughts? That will be the knowledge of certain things in question. Now the question comes, how will you know those things.

7. These 10 metrics in whole determine what amount of and the right manner of Articulation, Knowledge and Hard Word is needed. The 10 metrics are: Challenging Work Growth Autonomy Original Thinking Stress Working Relations with your Colleagues Relationships with your immediate boss Managerial Expertise Needed How Stable is the work environment Technical Expertise Needed

8. Now, rather than asking what works well from Communication Skills, Knowledge or Hard Work, I would rather tell try to find out what degrees of above 10 elements are requiring at ‘The Job to be Done” and then the right mix of Three Elements can be applied. Let’s say a Consulting Job requires high degree of Managerial Expertise and working in High Stress environment among other things. Now you know what among the three is needed and in what manner. You very well need good CS for client meetings and a lot of Hard Work to combat the stress. And it might happen that whatever extra stuff you know might not even be needed in those client interactions. Now, to help all here I will also recommend to check WrkVibe which has taken an initiative to measure these core 10 elements in a job and know what you need to excel in that. Hope This Helps !!!
