How Flexible Are You?

While reading The Psychology of Money, I came across an interesting idea…

“In a world where intelligence is hyper-competitive and many previous technical skills have become automated, competitive advantages tilt toward nuanced and soft skills – like communication, empathy, and perhaps most of all, flexibility.”

You know I can’t help but apply this to the data world.

Half of the data folks on LinkedIn already talk about communication/empathy. But few touch on the topic of flexibility.

And if you ask me...

When it comes to being a data analyst, I think flexibility is a powerful soft skill. It helps you stay relevant and up-to-date in our fast-moving world.

How do you feel about flexibility in the dorky world of data?
