In 2026 and beyond: Soft skills > hard skills.


AI has commoditized most hard skills.
As someone who runs a 35+ person business, these are the soft skills I'm looking for more than ever:
• Leadership
• Persuasion
• People management
• Decision-making under pressure
• Networking
• Storytelling
• Personal brand/reputation
• Discipline & consistency
• Emotional intelligence
• Creative taste
• Vision
• Adaptability
• Strategic thinking
• Risk tolerance & conviction
• Hiring & talent evaluation
