We are faced with an opportunity to free ourselves from mind-numbing, repetitive and low value-added tasks that take up a lot of our time, and shift our attention towards leveraging what we do best as humans.
To embrace that opportunity and get the best out of the changes ahead, we need to start nurturing our human capabilities–those uniquely human traits that will contribute to a more humane and healthier society, and become the new differentiator across work and life.
The enduring human capabilities we are talking about are present in all of us, they are timeless and can be used by everyone. Think of them as muscles–empathy, creativity, curiosity, resilience… We all possess them,even though some of them may be atrophied through lack of use. But just like muscles, human capabilities strengthen swiftly once one starts to use them.
