The top 10 skills for leaders in 2025, according to the World Economic Forum

Leader Question: Are your skills fit for the future?

Surely you know the sentence: "Nothing is as constant as change." And you've probably also noticed that this very phrase applies more than ever to each and every one of us right now - regardless of age. We're on the brink of tremendous upheaval. 🦖Especially in the world of work. What does that mean exactly? The World Economic Forum has published a lister of the Top 10 Skills, where we can see what's in store for us in the job landscape and what skills we need for the future. According to the report, 50% of all leaders and employees will need to retrain by 2025...but let's start small and take a closer look at the list 🔍. Among well-known skills like analytical thinking, self-management, active learning, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility are rather new! #yes!

Ok, so what are the top 10 skills of tomorrow?

1. analytical thinking and innovation

2. active learning and learning strategies

3. complex problem solving

4. critical thinking

5. creativity

6. leadership and interpersonal skills

7. technological skills

8. technological development and programming

9. resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility

10. problem solving and brainstorming

Nice to know: the trend is towards personal development, self-management and well-being - a completely new focus. 🧘 However, it's not just Future Skills that will keep us busy, but also the need for further development. It is assumed that by 2025, 85 million jobs will disappear and be replaced by technologies. This also has many positive aspects, because many new occupational fields will emerge. In the future, it will be a question of networking between people, algorithms and machines.

In Short: The way to the future is through retraining and continuing education - a job without continuous learning will be rare. While access to learning materials is much easier than it used to be, we should be aware that as a leader:in with your team, you will need more time and money for further training in the future, and that personal development and stress tolerance will play an increasingly important role.
