Nora Abd Manaf, group chief human capital officer at Southeast Asia’s Maybank, agreed that employees of the future need to work on developing their skills, but she also said it’s important to develop a future-proofed mindset.
“What I’ve found is that it’s not just a learning ability but the ability to bounce back. So when you fail, know how to pick yourself up and continue your learning process,” she said.
For Rudy Karsan, managing partner at Karlani Capital, a venture capital firm, it all comes down to one word: “Courage.”
“It is the single hardest thing for young people to have because of the amount of time they spend on the screen. You forget the difficulty it takes to really, really get to know people,” he said.
Meanwhile, Aileen Tan, group human resources officer at Singaporean telecommunications firm Singtel, who has been learning the programming language Python to future-proof her career, said the answer is threefold.
“For me, the three things are agility, curiosity, and a sense of divine discontentment,” said Tan. “Because you’ve really got to be discontented with the current to change the future.”
