To effectively integrate AI with their workforce and achieve good business outcomes, leaders need to invest in two important human skills: effective interpersonal skills and domain knowledge. Interpersonal skills include effective communication, meaningful engagement with others, and team cooperation, while domain knowledge helps workers make the best decisions when working with AI tools.
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have redefined "the right stuff" for the modern era, emphasizing the importance of interpersonal skills and collaboration. With longer missions and larger crews, communication and teamwork have become crucial characteristics for astronauts. The ISS, a collaboration between five space agencies, serves as a space laboratory for scientific research. Astronauts not only conduct experiments but also take care of each other and fix any issues that arise. The focus on teamwork and communication skills has increased as astronauts spend extended periods together on the ISS.

Seeking roles in dynamic, shifting environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to stave off job loss to AI, at least for a while.
