Relations to employees, consumers, health experts, to business partners, has almost fully depended towards the digital technology.
"We cannot predict the future. However, if we reflect upon this situation, one of the most sought after skills for future work force are situational leadership and digital adaptability. This includes leadership in analyzing a situation, responding to complex and uncertain situation, new ways of working, and co-creation with partners to bring positive impact," Connie said.
Someone does not have to be coming from certain major or universities. Because the most important thing is how they can utilize both time and technology effectively, analyzing the root cause of a problem, keep learning and mitigating future challenges, taking risks, doing creative collaboration and making positive impact to the society.
Connie added, “Another important values which our youth needs are also a big curiosity and willingness to learn.
