Formal education or skills and why? I consider both to be valuable. This is because without the individual acquiring some skill, only the theory taught in school would not be enough for him when it comes to duty performance.also formal education is necessary as it broadens the individuals way of thinking.IN a nutshell I think both formal education and skills are correlated Describe the benefits of working with others Working with a team for me hastens activities are more hands are involved in a particular project. Also working with a team enables the individual acquire new ideas and skills as there would be a form of brainstorming among members in the team on a particular alternative. Describe the benefits of working alone Working alone helps in achieving organizational goal as the individual would as much as possible try to work tirelessly in achieving a set target on a particular project. Working alone also avoids negative attitudes towards work since the individual knows that a particular work is for him alone and must complete it within a set period.
