This means being able to make quick, informed decisions about both the workplace and the workforce itself will be more important than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, we\u2019ll need to accurately understand the implications of increasingly granular forms of data provided by an automated workforce, and decide how to leverage that data to best benefit both employees and business strategy. Decision making is similar in some respects to critical thinking, as you\u2019ll generally need to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Identify a goal or problem area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Make sure you have all the relevant information to make an informed decision.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Consider the impacts and consequences of potential decisions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Have the conviction to carry out your decision.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Be able to objectively review the success of your decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-header font-weight-bold\">How and Where to Learn<\/div>\n<div class=\"card-body\">\n<p>All of us have some experience with decision making at some level or another, as it\u2019s pretty hard to live life without making any. That said, it\u2019s not easy to find any formal training on the subject. There are, of course, plenty of resources out there, including books and studies, that can help give you an insight into the inner workings of decision making.One thing to keep in mind is not to rush &#8211; big decisions are often best slept on or mulled over for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about decision making here:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/gb\/blog\/persuasion-bias-and-choice\/201806\/5-tips-better-decision-making\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5 Tips for Better Decision Making<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> (Psychology Today).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/218164\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Five Tips for Making Better Decisions <\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">(Entrepreneur). <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4 font-weight-bold\">Emotional Intelligence<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Relating to one another is an important skill in everyday life as well as work, and it\u2019s going to become even more essential in the workplaces of the future. This is because, as with we&#8217;ll see with many of the skills we&#8217;ll look at, AI and machines can\u2019t replicate this quality. The human element of the workplace will then, become increasingly important &#8211; contrary to what we might assume as things become more automated.<\/p>\n<p>Emotional intelligence affects pretty much every interaction we have with each other. It helps us notice if someone is happy or sad, as well as understanding what they are trying to communicate to us. It&#8217;s very closely linked with empathy, and can help us to understand things from another person\u2019s perspective. This can be crucial in negotiating, managing, and motivating, as well as just generally creating a pleasant and supportive workplace for each other. Emotional intelligence is linked to these skills:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Empathy<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Motivation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Social skills<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Self-awareness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Self-regulation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"card-header font-weight-bold\">How and Where to Learn<\/div>\n<div class=\"card-body\">\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Formal courses in emotional intelligence aren\u2019t currently that common, but given that we all have it to greater and lesser degrees, it\u2019s something you can easily work on yourself. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A simple way to start thinking about emotional intelligence is to notice how you react to various situations and try to think about how and why you respond as you do. Learning a bit about body language can also be helpful, as we use many non-verbal cues to communicate our thoughts and feelings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Find out more about emotional intelligence here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikijob.co.uk\/content\/interview-advice\/competencies\/emotional-intelligence\">Emotional Intelligence (WikiJob)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mindtools.com\/pages\/article\/newCDV_59.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Emotional Intelligence: Developing strong people skills<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> (MindTools)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/ashleystahl\/2018\/05\/29\/5-ways-to-develop-your-emotional-intelligence\/#816fd386976e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5 Ways to Develop Your Emotional Intelligence<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> (Forbes)<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Machines and AI may be faster and better at niche tasks, but they can&#8217;t relate to humans (yet).
