Which is the skill in shortest supply today?
Indra Nooyi, CEO of PepsiCo, correctly pinpoints it as “acuity.”
Nooyi has been named by both Fortune Magazine and Forbes Magazine as the most powerful woman in business for several years in a row.
True, Nooyi is referring to the skills in short supply for CEOs. But her observation applies to everyone else as well — at all levels.
In a world where information is abundant, what matters most is acuity and perspective.
Traditional training and development has it backwards — they stuff you with knowledge. But perspective is left to chance. Hopefully, you’ll gain it with age or experience.
You need perspective now. Not after you’ve reached a certain age.
You can leave all the other skills to chance. You can’t leave perspective to chance.
Time to step up to the skills2.0 Learning Platform — where perspective and acuity is the foundation and all the other skills are built atop that.
Yep, that’s counterintuitive. Yep, that’s not “how we’ve always done it.” But times have changed. You need to change with it. Welcome to the new world of business.
