Talents and Competencies

Talents are natural abilities or gifts that make it easier for someone to perform certain tasks, like musical aptitude or logical reasoning. Competencies are the skills, knowledge, and behaviors a person develops through learning and experience to successfully do a specific job or role. While talents are innate, competencies can be learned and improved over time. Both are important for performance: talents give a head start, and competencies help refine and expand abilities to achieve goals effectively.
