Most of these skills seem pretty vague. How would you quantify "Judgment and Decision Making" in a generic sense? Seems a bit too context dependant to make that generalisation.

Reaching a basic level of success in employment is way more holistic than these bar charts would indicate.

Statements like this are just silly:

> "A skill like “judgement” could make you highly employable, but be hard to improve, and so offer poor returns per hour spent learning."

How about this for a pretty generic plan:

- Know your trade: Understand whatever system you are using in depth.

- Understand how you create value within the specific business you are in.

- Have an O.K understanding of how your work interacts with others, and be O.K at explaining your understanding to others.

- Try to consistently interact with others in good faith and try to score runs for your project/business/whatever. Subjugate your own ego as much as possible and remain friendly when things get hectic.
