The Superpower Economy

Haydn Thomas’ recent workshop on the Superpower Economy gave attendees some unique insights:

• Communication is consistently the #1 skill employers cite. This covers written, verbal, digital, and cross-cultural communication. The strengths needed: Active listening, emotional intelligence, clarity of thought, adaptability of tone, and confidence.
• What’s interesting is that over 25 years, technical skills have come and gone (specific software, platforms, methodologies), but the human skills — communication, EQ, critical thinking, adaptability — have only grown in value. This is partly because technology has automated the routine and left the relational and the complex to people.
• Every wave of technological and economic disruption has raised the bar on what it means to be distinctly human at work.
• In a sense, the most durable professional skill is the ability to keep developing skills — which is really just curiosity and resilience working together.
