Summary:
"The skills the economy values are changing in historic ways. The abilities most essential for personal success are no longer the technical, classroom-taught left-brain skills that were demanded from workers in the past. Instead, our greatest advantage lies in our deepest, most essentially human abilities--empathy, creativity, social sensitivity, storytelling, humor, building relationships, and expressing ourselves with greater power than logic can ever achieve. This is durable value that is not easily replicated by technology--because we're hardwired to want it from other humans. These high-value skills create tremendous competitive advantage--more devoted customers, stronger cultures, breakthrough ideas, and more effective teams. And while many of us regard these abilities as innate traits--"he's a real people person," "she's naturally creative"--it turns out they can all be developed"--Provided by publisher.
