Skills you will need in the future“The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a
very different kind of mind – creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers.
These people – artists, inventors, designers, storytellers, caregivers, consolers, big picture thinkers – will now reap society’s richest rewards and share its greatest joys.” – Dan Pink

Critical thinking, collaboration, creativity
and communication preferred
“The skill set required for the 21st century student is vastly different from when we started the Best Colleges survey 20 years ago. Then the three Rs of reading, writing and arithmetic were paramount. Now it's the four Cs-critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication. Institutions of higher learning need to provide an education that keeps pace with an increasingly modern workplace where global protectionism and advancing automation are making jobs redundant and changing the notion of leisure time.”

Your personal brand – the most important
currency in the age of human-machine
partnershipsAs the rise of reputation engines, data visualization,
and smart analytics make individuals’ skills and
competencies increasingly searchable, cultivating
and preserving a strong personal brand will be
considered basic professional hygiene over the
next decade. In order for rewarding and challenging
work to find them, people will need to maintain a
favorable, professional reputation in one’s
network.
Be an “extra miler” – but know the
limitations
• A single “extra miler”—an employee who frequently contributes beyond the scope of his or her role—can drive team performance more than all the other members combined.
• an overlap of only about 50% between the top collaborative contributors in an organization and those employees deemed to be the top performers.
