Recommendation

In this fundamentally optimistic book about the prospects for human labor in a future dominated by smart machines, Edward D. Hess and Katherine Ludwig argue that people will continue to bring irreplaceable critical thinking, creativity and emotional relationship skills to the workplace. To thrive in the “Smart Machine Age,” every employee must master four “NewSmart” behaviors: “Quieting Ego, Managing Self, Reflective Listening” and “Otherness.” And businesses must reject hierarchical management and become more humane to foster their people’s well-being, resilience, development and engagement.

Take-Aways

  • Smart machines portend economic disruption and profound changes in people’s workplace roles.
  • The Industrial Revolution set the parameters of a desirably “smart” workforce.
  • When machines are highly intelligent, humans need a new kind of smart.

    Awesome insights from this book summary which I can connect with my spiritual understanding "Trunadapi Sunichena, Tarorapi Sahisnuna " in sanskrit. Google it if you don't understand sanskrit
