The most essential skills for 2030?:
They’re not just technical. They’re strategic.

 Jeroen Kraaijenbrink shared this helpful original post and infographic:

This chart from the World Economic Forum shows what employers expect to matter most by 2030.

In the upper-right quadrant—skills that are both core today and expected to grow in importance—we see:

-> Analytical thinking
-> Resilience, flexibility & agility
-> Leadership & social influence
-> Motivation & self-awareness
-> Creative thinking
-> Systems thinking
-> Curiosity & lifelong learning

These aren’t niche capabilities. They’re the core drivers of strategy in action.

Yes, technological literacy, AI and data skills matter too. But the bulk of what’s rising isn’t just technical—it’s about how people think, adapt, lead, and execute in a changing world.

“If you can define the problem differently than everybody else in the industry, you can generate alternatives that others aren’t thinking about.” - Roger L. Martin, The Opposable Mind: How Successful Leaders Win Through Integrative Thinking

The following is an original post by Jeroen Kraaijenbrink: 
 
The most powerful ideas are born in paradox.
Between creative and logical thinking. 
Not “either-or” but “both-and.”

When solving complex problems, we’re often told to “be creative.” Other times, the advice is to “be logical.” But the real challenge is that both are necessary and that they often pull in opposite directions.

Creative thinking (divergent) asks us to open up possibilities.
It pushes us to explore, question assumptions, and imagine without limits.

Logical thinking (convergent) asks us to narrow down.
It pushes us to test, synthesize, and focus on what is feasible.

Too much creativity without logic, and ideas remain fantasies.
Too much logic without creativity, and solutions are incremental at best.

The paradox is that real progress requires holding both modes at once. First expanding the field of vision, then zooming in with sharp focus.
It’s not “either-or.” It’s “both-and.”

That rhythm—divergence and convergence—is how possibility becomes progress.

Do you apply both types of thinking in balance? Or do you overemphasize creative or logical thinking?

Do you want to build an elite team?
And create meaning at work?

What follows is a repost of an original post by Oliver Aust  

It's not magic. It's the power of rituals.

Rituals can help you build a team that’s more connected, engaged and driven.

A team that feels meaning. 

This week on Speak Like a CEO, I speak with renowned psychology professor Michael Norton of Harvard Business School. 

Michael is the author of The Ritual Effect, and he shares how smart leaders use rituals to shape their organizations from the inside out.

Here are 7 powerful insights:

🔹 1. Beyond the Surface: Rituals aren't just about fun activities; they forge a shared identity, purpose, and values that define your company's DNA.

🔹 2. More Than Habits: Rituals are imbued with emotion and meaning, creating a sense of connection and purpose that habits simply can't match.

🔹 3. The Power of "We": From team chants to company-wide traditions, rituals create shared experiences that bind people together and foster a powerful sense of belonging.

🔹 4. From the Bottom Up, Not Top Down: The most effective team rituals arise organically, reflecting the team's unique culture and values. Empower your people to create them!

🔹 5. Meaning in the Everyday: Discover how rituals can transform your workplace culture, injecting meaning into daily routines and making employees feel more connected to their purpose.

🔹 6. The Ritual Advantage: Learn how rituals can enhance team performance, improve communication, boost morale, and even reduce employee turnover.

🔹 7. Craft a Culture of Connection: Discover how to create an environment where meaningful rituals can flourish, strengthening your team's bond and driving organizational success.

His insights are pure gold for all leaders who are serious about creating a workplace where people feel valued, connected, and inspired.
