(1) Agency
Initiative is the bottleneck in a post-AI world. The OpenAI Codex team articulates this as “abundance mindset” - if you don’t take action, the AI & human agents at your disposal won’t either.
(2) Pattern recognition
Since AI is lowering execution cost, it raises the premium on discernment. Knowing *what* to do and *why becomes more important.*
People who can articulate clear goals, course correct & assess outcomes will be more valuable.
(3) EQ
Since ‘systems’ will involve AI & human agents, having soft skills (empathy, judgment, and communication skill) lets you direct human agents who in-turn control a larger force of AI agents.

Dear strategists, you are only as good as the questions you ask. AI will not replace that, it will demand it of you.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we need to rethink how we measure and value AI contributions. The traditional metrics of time saved or costs reduced may miss the more transformative impacts of these systems - their ability to generate novel insights, synthesize complex information, and enable new forms of problem-solving.

That strategy piece, she argues, is at the heart of what makes creative work valuable. "AI is shifting workplace value toward decision-making, judgment, and trust. It’s no longer just about what you can do quickly as it’s about how well you can steer, question, and guide systems that now do the ‘doing,’” she says.
How to Thrive in the Age of AI-Powered Work
as routine cognition prices out at raw compute cost, “agents” will gut the hire-more-brains-to-grow playbook and push value toward proprietary data, deep context and durable networks. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy is already bracing—generative agents, he says, will shrink the corporate back office. The near-term story isn’t robo-layoffs so much as a violen... See more
