A recent article in ‘The Times of India’ raises a very important question:  

Is academic excellence a true measure of one's success in life?

It further goes on to say:

High Marks May Not Guarantee Success!!!!!!!

It is so because………… (please read on)

The teaching process in our schools & colleges focuses on preparing students for scoring high marks. However; high marks do not guarantee greater success.

It is because we need many other qualities besides high academic performance to be successful. Qualities like a person’s total personality, communication skills, positive attitude, time management & general outlook towards life in fact play more important role.

However, most of the students when they enter corporate world lack these skills.

Positive Attitude&

Communication Skills(verbal & non –verbal)

are two the most desirable skills by all

employers!

Some employers in the USA on Writing Skills

Gary Blake, Communication

Workshop leader;

I am surprised at the number of managers who complain that

nobody who works for them can write a simple

paragraph.

A senior recruiter at Citigroup :

“If I have two similar

candidates in front of me,

every timeI’ll hire the one who can write

better.”

“You can have the greatest ideas in the world,

but they’re no good to anyone,

if you can’t express them clearly & persuasively.”

HR Head of an MNC :

“To get a corporate job with a multinational company you need to

communicate effectively, write reports & put

together presentations.

Tragically, majority of candidates lack fluency & polish.

They are poor in grammar, including even

those who have studied in English medium Schools.

They are unable to construct grammatically correct sentences.

They also grapple with pace, tone &

pronunciation.”

HR Head of a Call Center :

HR Head of a Factory:

“Today’s youth have a pathetic command

over the English Language & very

weak delivery system. Hence; their

communication is wasted.

In fact, we reject 90% of those who apply

for voice-based positions due to

poor communication skills.

In addition to poor grammar

today’s youth have grave problems with

listening, comprehending, assimilating & responding.

We face problems. Our employees need to

express themselves well.

We don’t provide language training.

We expect them to have strong communication

skills to start with.
