[ Technical / Behavioural ]

Technical skills rely on knowledge and insight; often using math. They are context and industry specific.  Having expert technical skills across a multitude of scenarios is unlikely and unusual, because excellent technical skills are context specific.

Behavioural skills rely on emotional awareness.  We can’t ignore it: human behaviour involves emotions.  Just like you can’t have an experience without emotion, you can’t behave without emotion. 

Behavioural skills are more easily transferred between contexts and roles.  Being professional, kind, considerate, and honest is the same in any situation.  Doing project specific calculations for a variety of assets needs more conscientious switching effort.
