Book excerpt: Future of work requires a new way of leadership, with creativity a key differentiator between humans and robots in the workplace. We are facing a big challenge: with robots and automation happening in workplaces, jobs will be lost and work activities automated. The earlier you accept this transformation, the earlier you adapt to this change and manage your career. Whether you are an employee or business owner, you have to move up the value chain quickly and focus on creative and innovative output, which is more difficult for robots to replicate. Regardless of industries, future workplaces require leaders who are creative and innovative. Future leaders need to focus on The “3i”s (individual mindset, infrastructure, ideas), mastering 9 essential leadership and career skills to edge over robots. This book is written for you if: – You are “paranoid” about the future. – You want to invest and prepare yourself, so that you and your businesses will survive and thrive in the future. – You want to figure out how to lead in the future. “Disregard it at your peril!
