AI won’t replace soft skills in the workplace. In fact, AI is going to make soft skills (emotional intelligence, for instance) even more valuable than it ever has been in the modern world.
So, now is the right time for new job searchers to develop their communication, leadership and interpersonal skills by absorbing what Dale Carnegie began publishing 90 years ago.
One of Carnegie's core ideas is that it’s possible to change another person by changing your own behavior with that person. That requires trust and caring, two attributes we desperately need to revive in our society.
What a challenge that is for today’s young people! I think they'll meet that challenge. They are going to harness AI for tremendous social, economic and political changes based on renewed trus*t and caring.
Based on your experience, what tip do you have for young people who are about to transition from school to work?
My first word of advice would be what Dr. Joyce Brothers said: “Your first job proabley won’t be too much.”. She ment that it would cover the bills with not alot left over. Don’t expect to much at first.
Thanks, Susan. Those of us who have lived multiple decades can probably say that is largely true: That’s the way life usually works. The few exception are those who are young but recognize (and are in a position to capitalize on) major breakthroughs such as the auto, the personal computer, the Internet, the cell phone etc.
