The 10 important skills for the future work force are:

Sense Making:  It is the ability to determine the deeper meaning or significance of what is being expressed. These are skills that are critical to decision making. As smart machines take over routine manufacturing and services jobs, there will be an increase in demand for the skills machine are not good at. These are higher level thinking skills that cannot be codified. In the next decade sense-making will emerge as a skill workers increasing need to capitalize on.

Social Intelligence: It is the ability to connect to others in a deep and direct way, to sense and stimulate reactions and desired interactions. Feeling is just as complicated as sense-making and just as the machines that are being built are not sense-making machines; the emotional and social robots are not feeling machines. Socially intelligent employees are able to quickly assess the emotions of those around them and adapt to their words, tone and gestures accordingly.Our emotionality and social IQ will continue be one of the vital assets that give human workers a comparative advantage over machines.
