Summary
AI is not just changing the future of work. It is exposing which parts of your job were never the real work to begin with.

Andrea shares the nine human skills leaders need in an AI-powered workplace, including prompting, data sense-making, reperception, augmentation, antifragility, adaptability, empathy, trust, and agency. He also explains why asking better questions matters more than having all the answers, why leaders need to “empty the cup” and unlearn old assumptions, and why 93% of HR leaders in his research said they would rather hire for soft skills than hard skills. Damon and Andrea also dig into the real reason many companies struggle with AI adoption: they bought the “Ferrari,” but their teams do not know how to drive it yet.
