To Thrive Alongside AI, Focus on Mindset—Not Skillset

“What’s the 10% of my job that I should focus on, that the AI will never be able to do to maintain a competitive edge?” In a period of sweeping change, it’s a reasonable question to ask. But think about an experienced horse rider thinking about the skills they need to drive a car. What are the 10% of horse riding skills they should hang on to? Probably none. What’s the 100% of skills they should adapt to be a great driver? Their reflexes and instincts. The new challenge is not to just optimize but to rethink our roles and companies. Don’t just reskill, reimagine skills and build new habits.
