micromanagement is in the DNA of a few organisations!!

When you have had previous employers micromanage you develop an earned appreciation for those that do not. Those are the employers from which you can have a career.

In two years' time, what skills might your future self wish you had invested in today to boost your adaptability? I'm troubled by how the chart below - which captures hirers' perspective - mashes up traits, drivers and competencies under the generic umbrella of 'skills'. But aside from this sloppiness, I'm even more troubled by the fact that: ↳ Change agility - which is much more than 'creative thinking' and encompasses curiosity, continuous learning, the courage to experiment and take risks, resilience and emotional regulation under pressure - is sorely missing ↳ Critical thinking is also a notable pass ↳ Social skills and empathy in the age of AI, anyone? ↳ Independent working ranks so high, when today's world in flux critically calls for joined-up thinking & cross-boundary collaboration ↳ And finally, given that this is hirers' perspective, I can only be amused by the fact that "passion" and "dedication" are listed there as if candidates are meant to just put those in the bag and bring them on their first day at work - and not at all a matter of employers creating the conditions for "passion" and "dedication" to be ignited and channeled in the right way 😬 Curious what else you're noticing in this chart; and how you see your own "skills of the future" evolving...
