Values Vs Skills
Skills and techniques can be taught throughvarious training programs, but values cannot be
taught. Values come within a person by his/her
own effort.
Values inculcated remain within the person
forever whereas skills may be forgotten due to
lack of practice.
Skills are different for different organizations but
the core values are same for all organizations.

Values over Skills
In an organization a persons skills must be wellsupported by his/her values, because without
some moral or organizational values his skills will
be of no use.
E.g. If a person makes use of his special skills and
does some harm to the organization then his skills
will be of no use, to the organization.
So such utilization of skills which has no essence
of values in it is not welcomed in any organization.
