Formal education or skills and why? My opinion is that skills are without a doubt the most valuable although your can never under estimate the importance of a good education, I believe this as when you actually experience construction projects you only then start to learn what it's all about. Describe the benefits of working with others Team work is the most important thing that anyone can do although as a manager you must know where to draw the line.
