The 21st Century Skills - What we should learn today to be able to help shape tomorrow

It could soon become uncomfortable in our familiar comfort zone. We should therefore master new skills and ways of thinking in order to establish leadership and excellence in the company in the long term:

• master the four key future skills defined in the 21st Century Skills model: Communication, Cooperation, Creativity and Critical Thinking.
• develop a self-determined relationship to performance: Giving your best, but according to your own standards.
• use artificial intelligence like a screwdriver instead of letting algorithms decide for them.
• learn to deal with ambivalence, because nothing is as clear-cut as it seemed for a long time.
• Recognizing altruism as the better selfishness: doing something for others to get a lot in return.
• invest properly in your own mental health.
• We can't "google" social skills - we can learn them.
• Physics is the predominant science, but philosophy will be again.
• Street smart instead of just being book smart. The world is too complex for prefabricated strategies alone.
• develop a beginner's mindset and discover many possibilities instead of just a few.

The visionary future thinker Yuval Harari assumes that, due to the rapid progress of artificial intelligence, people will have to reinvent themselves every 15 years in order to cope with professional challenges. In order to survive in what many people perceive as a constantly stressful environment, they need emotional stability and character skills, and above all resilience and self-discipline in times of crisis. 

Everything begins with confidence in life. The confidence quotient VQ multiplies our abilities. The more we know about our abilities and then actually use them, the stronger our basic confidence in life becomes. And the higher our basic confidence is, the more we strengthen our confidence to discover and exercise new abilities.
