- Jobs was able to come by this innovation because, like many other great innovators, he was interested in more than just one thing. He wasn't a narrow specialist. And this raises a question at a time when creativity and ideas are critical to business success: Should everyone be a generalist, to some degree? Here, it is useful to think about two kinds—or shapes—of professionals. One can be shaped either like an "I” (think narrow and tight) or a "T" (think extended). The I-shaped professional is highly versed in a specific area of expertise and learns by drilling more deeply into a particular field. The T-shaped person has broader skills and knowledge and learns by linking up different perspectives from different specialties. (This terminology apparently originated at McKinsey & Company in internal conversations about what kinds of consultants to hire.) All this is another way of saying there's nothing wrong with being a card-carrying I as long as you can also be a T in some significant sense. Most professionals have an area of specialization, but they are more likely to find distinctive ideas if they have one foot outside their "small worlds," to borrow a phrase from technology analyst Andrew Hargadon. There are winning ideas to be leveraged from a grocery store, or a calligraphy class taken long ago.

- Attitude – The capacity to stay optimistic and positive. The #1 quality for career success is “Championship Thinking.” Enthusiastic – The possession of intense and eager interest in a subject or cause. It is an energy that often inspires others. Ethical – The quality of having and living by a code of sound moral principles. Goal Focused – The ability to have clarity on the objectives that you strive for in your personal and professional life. Listener – The capacity to suspend your own agenda and deliberately and empathically allow others to be heard. Networked – A well developed circle of influence of interconnected positive relationships. Persistent – The ability to endure in the face of adversity. It is a patient and relenting effort to achieve despite difficulties. Self-Aware – The understanding and knowledge of who you are including your skills, values, interests, behaviors and character. Self-Confident – The firm belief in your abilities. Seek professional help if this is an area of weakness – it will be worth it. Self-Discipline – The ability to control and restrain impulses. Energy then can be focused and channeled toward your ambitions.

- TECHNOLOGY AND COMPUTATIONAL THINKING It’s no surprise that tech skills will be in demand. However, Fidler says that “computational thinking”–the ability to manage the massive amounts of data we process individually each day, spot patterns, and make sense out of all of it–will be valued. Data analytics / Data scientist etc “As the total amount of information coming at you increases and increases, the ability to manage that in a way that you’re not overwhelmed, is pretty key,” he says. Related jobs: Software developer jobs will grow 18.8% between now and 2024, according to the BLS, while computer systems analyst jobs will increase 20.9% by 2024. Market research analyst and marketing specialist jobs, which also require those analytical skills, will increase 18.6%.
- CAREGIVING As more people live longer, every aspect of the health care sector is poised for growth. And while telemedicine, robotic surgical equipment, and other forms of automation are changing how some health care is delivered, demand for caregivers is going to increase as we commit to providing health care for more of the population—a population that is growing and living longer, says John Challenger, CEO of outplacement and career coaching firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas, Inc. “It’s going to take a long time for robots to be good at soft skills, like social and emotional intelligence and cross-cultural competency.” Related jobs: Challenger’s firm analyzed the hottest job sectors from 2018 through 2025 and half of the sectors were caregiving and health-related. Hot fields included medical technicians, physical therapists, and workplace ergonomics experts. Veterinarians will also be in demand, the report found. BLS also found that support jobs related to caregiving, such as medical secretaries and medical assistants will also be in high demand. Home health aide jobs are expected to grow a whopping 38.1%.
- SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEW MEDIA LITERACY It’s going to take a long time for robots to be good at soft skills, like social and emotional intelligence and cross-cultural competency, “which are hugely valuable in a world where you or I could go and be working with somebody in the Philippines within an hour. Virtual collaboration itself is really useful in that environment as well,” Fidler says. In addition, new media literacy—understanding various media platforms and how to best communicate effectively in them—are valuable skills that robots won’t be likely to match any time soon. Related jobs: Sales and related jobs are one of the top five growth areas worldwide, according to the WEF report. In the U.S., BLS projects that jobs for retail and other sales representatives, marketing specialists, and customer service representatives are each projected to grow between 6.4% and 18.6%, depending on the category by 2024.
- LIFELONG LEARNING: With the world moving as fast as it is, we need to become a society of people who are always learning new things, says Julie Friedman Steele, board chair of the World Future Society, a membership organization for futurists. But we’re also going to need to shift how we learn, she says. As so many things advance quickly, it will be difficult for teachers and trainers to keep up with the latest thinking. Instead, we’ll use technology to find the best sources of information to keep our knowledge and skills current. Antonia Cusumano, people & organization leader at consulting giant PwC says that we’ll also need to turn to more dynamic resources. “You’re going to have 10 minutes on your bus ride home when you’re commuting. You’re going to pull up an app from one of the many businesses out there that are doing these mini-clips of video learning. I’d like to learn 10 minutes on C++ so that I can brush up on my coding. You’re going to see learning shift to these little mini bite-sized chunks of information that you can get on the go and when you need it and at any given time,” she says. Related jobs: Teachers and trainers made Challenger’s firm’s list of eight hot fields through 2025. Education and training is number six on the WEF report’s list of growth sectors.
- ADAPTABILITY AND BUSINESS ACUMEN With opportunities in innovation and entrepreneurship and the rise of the “gig economy,” Cusumano says understanding how businesses work is essential. Even if you’re working for a company, you have to have a better understanding than ever of how the business operates. “It’s how the millennial generation has been raised. They are more in tune to collaborate. They know how to do project-based work and move quickly, which I think is inherent in today’s economy,” she says. Related jobs: BLS estimates that management analysts, accountants and auditors will experience double-digit growth through 2024. One Intuit report projects that more than 40% of U.S. workers will be independent contractors by 2020.
- "Most people think being an entrepreneur is all about coming up with an idea, but that's just one part," Amini told Business News Daily. "It's also important to know, right from the start, how you will reach interested customers in an effective and affordable way." - See more at: http://www.businessnewsdaily.com/2642-entrepreneurship.html#sthash.FHhGLqg1.dpuf "Entrepreneurship is much broader than the creation of a new business venture," added Bruce Bachenheimer, a clinical professor of management and executive director of the Entrepreneurship Lab at Pace University. "At its core, it is a mind-set — a way of thinking and acting. It is about imagining new ways to solve problems and create value."
