About soft skills and the future of jobs

We are living in a fourth industrial revolution. Millions of jobs will be automated. In this rapidly changing world new leadership is required. We need other skills; soft skills. Soft skills are personal attributes that enable someone to be self-aware and to interact effectively and harmoniously with other people. Resulting in all new levels of performance, productivity and personal satisfaction. Resulting in sustainable friendships, alliances and partnerships.

What is frustrating about applying the adjective soft to these kind of attributes is that it implies that they are unimportant, and a “nice to have” rather than a “need to have. In place of the term soft skills, we use human skills, as it provides an appropriately broad umbrella definition for describing a wide subset of characteristics relevant to working with others, thinking critically and being self-aware.

In 2016, the World Economic Forum published an extensive report called The Future of Jobs. One of the report’s main findings is that human skills will be in higher demand across industries.
