Skills That Wont Be Automated - Fairygodboss

Skills That Wont Be Automated - Fairygodboss We landsee technology replacing workers everywhere. Cash registers. Fast food restaurants. Grocery stores. You get the picture.As automation becomes more and more prominent in our society and our workplaces, we wonder where and when itll end. Can machines replace all human workers? Are they capable of taking over positions in finance departments or journalists in newsrooms? While technology may seem to be taking over the world, some say it wont (and cant) completely run us out of our jobs.Technology researchers and experts Adam J. Gustein and John Sviokla wrote in 3. ContextAccording to Gustein and Sviokla, automated systems are bad at recognizing context. Truly understanding and grasping a companys business model, its competition, its clients, its partners, its business model, its leadership, as well as his/her leadership style is something a computer cannot replicate. Having this type of contextual knowledge makes you invaluable.4. Emoti onal CompetenceMachines are also incapable of understanding and processing emotion. And research has found that the most important factor behind executive decisions is emotion. Also, a certain importance lies in being able to understand others emotions, as well as play to them as a persuasion tactic. According to Gustein and Sviokla, emotional competence will never be replicated via technology.5. TeachingAlthough technology has changed the ways we teach, machines will truly never be able to replace the human act of helping others learn. To teach a new employee the necessary skills to be successful in a position, one must truly understand A) how the company works and B) how the human mind learns. And the experts say machines are incapable of genuinely grasping both concepts.6. ConnectionsConnections allow for personal business ties and company growth that wouldnt be possible otherwise. Machines are not capable of forming a strong (or loose) connection with other business-owners or pr ominent businesswomen. But you are. And thats important, according to Gustein and Sviokla.7. An ethical compassMachines will forever be incapable of making moral judgments, according to Gustein and Sviokla. There is no algorithm for navigating an important ethical dilemma. And thank goodness, because as you can image, that could be very problematic. Your strong moral values as a human being are some of the greatest strengths you can bring to a company (as long as you arent a robot).
