Recently at LinkedIn Learning, using the power of our Economic Graph, we determined the skills companies need most.
And there was a bit of a surprise that at the very top of the list for a second year was: creativity.
Technically, creativity is the most in-demand soft skill in the world, while Blockchain is the top hard skill. Hard skills, are those which apply to what people are working on (I.e. Blockchain) and only apply to that section of the workforce and doesn’t have the staying power a soft skill has.
Conversely, learning how to think more creatively will benefit you the rest of your career. And, macroeconomic trends suggest creativity will only become more important moving forward. Hence, it’s no stretch to say creativity is the single-most important skill in the world for all business professionals today to master. Why?
