The Four "New SoftSkills" We Need To Thrive In The Age of AI

Listen Later

Now that everyone is deep into AI transformation and flooded with personal productivity tools, it’s time to take a step back and consider “what new capabilities (not skills) do we need to thrive here?”

Well after 60+ interviews and discussions with hundreds of companies so far, I want to share the four “big things” that drive success. These are the essential new skills we need as a Superworker, and also lead to our new roles as Supermanagers.

They essentially boil down to:

  • Become a builder or creator, not just a doer
  • Challenge the dogma, rethink work from first principles, fall in love with the problem
  • Be curious about why and how things work, and why they don’t
  • Take on the role of Supermanager, encouraging others to invent, not just do.

    • In the podcast I explain them in more detail, and give you many examples you can learn from.
