The Future of Work Requires Non-Technical Expertise
As
advanced technologies automate our world in more ubiquitous
ways, we naturally assume that technical skills will be in the
highest demand in the future job market. But as revealed in a
recent report from the World Economic Forum (WEF), among many
other studies, the rise of ever-smarter machines demands a surge
in the social and emotional abilities machines cannot master.
Soft skills such as adaptability, creative thinking, persuasion,
relationship mastery, the ability to deal with complexity, and
time management are increasingly valuable to companies as they
become more dynamic, interconnected, and flexible by necessity.
However, HR professionals report difficulty recruiting
candidates who have these very skills!
