Will You be Replaced by a Robot?
This year’s Future of Jobs report by the World Economic Forum sheds light on pandemic-related disruptions in 2020, and hones in on the outlook for jobs and skillsets in the next five years.
What came as no surprise, is that automation, in tandem with the COVID-19 recession, is creating a ‘double-disruption’ scenario for leaders and their companies.
In fact, 43% of businesses indicate that they are set to reduce their workforce due to technological integration.
That is a sobering finding.
What’s more, by 2025, the time spent on current tasks at work by humans and machines will be equal.
That is in 5 years time!
So with so much complexity out there, how can leaders and their teams remain valuable? How can they navigate the high seas of uncertainty?
I believe that the answer lies not in trying to control change or even our circumstances, but rather in adapting to being comfortable in the face of change and embracing it with clarity and purpose.
What’s the best way to become comfortable with change?
By managing our environment from the inside out.
By becoming a ‘self-leader’.
According to the report, the top skills which are rising in prominence in the lead up to 2025 includes: self-leadership — which the report claims includes active learning, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility.
When I read this report, I found myself nodding along the whole way through.
Why?
These and many other competencies of the 21st century are exactly what we at HPSE focus on helping our clients discover and develop.
Our goal has always been on focusing on “The Human Behind The Leader” — and it is by developing our core human competencies, that we will be able to successfully navigate this transformative age of automation!
