We'll find to find new ways to impress our boss in the age of AI

Dec 06, 2023 - businessinsider.com
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way we work, making some skills less relevant while increasing the importance of resilience, collaboration, and leadership. A new survey from HR research firm McLean & Company suggests that as AI takes on more high-skill tasks, abilities that are less likely to be automated, such as communication and leadership, will become more crucial. The survey also indicates a shift from a labor market where technical know-how guaranteed job security to one where soft skills are in high demand.

The survey found that only 32% of office workers are highly proficient in leadership skills, despite 70% of respondents stating it was a high priority. The findings suggest that employers need to focus not only on how tasks are done but also on why they matter. The report also highlights the need for HR to play a more significant role in building talent, with only a quarter of respondents stating HR had been highly effective in this area.

Key takeaways:

  • As AI takes on more high-skill tasks, abilities such as communication, leadership, resilience and collaboration will become more important, according to a survey by McLean & Company.
  • The 'why' behind work won't change despite the transformation in 'how' we work due to AI and new technologies.
  • Only 32% of office workers are highly proficient in leadership skills, even though 70% of respondents said it was a high priority.
  • While technical proficiency will always be needed, many technical skills acquired during careers might not pay off as long as they had in the past due to AI.
