The future is not created; it’s co-created. Leaders need to build teams that can both define the right questions, and then discover new answers.

Nilofer Merchant says that when we interview potential team members we often make the mistake of looking for people who can do what we’ve done already. Yet, we need people who can navigate the new waters ahead. 

She says: “Unfortunately, right now, an estimated 77% of all jobs (60% in the U.S. and 80% worldwide) require little to no creativity, decision-making, or independent judgment.
