This ❤️ In an era when companies are striving for greater efficiency and productivity (i.e. ROI / Business Outcomes), facing talent shortages, and are at the tip of the iceberg as to the coming job title/role disruption due to automation and AI. It's more important than ever to weigh curiosity and growth mindset vs experience. What were once considered soft skills, may be truly be the power skills of the future. Hire for the agile, the critical thinkers, the problem solvers, the solution developers, those who see how the pieces fit together and how greater value can be extracted from driving more synergy between the specialist siloes. #OrganizationalAgility #TheFutureofWork

John Ousterhout is a Computer Science professor at Stanford and made the quote “A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept”. It shows us how important it is to think long term and not going for the easiest solution. Another idea would be to start small, grow fast and think big - also in hiring.
