The Most Needed Skill In Tomorrow's World - What Is Holding Back Progress

The Most Needed Skill In Tomorrow's World - What Is Holding Back Progress

There are Many People who are talking about the Future.

I see it Frequently.

"This is the Future of..."

Pick Your Poison.

But here's the Truth.

Most People are Nowhere "Near" the Path to a Better Future.

Just Look over the past Decade.

You'll See Failed "Futures"...

Again...

And Again...

Meta, can you tell me about how your Metaverse Plans are going?

Clubhouse, how are you doing with Overtaking Podcasting?

Hey AI, you've been going "Strong" for 2 Years, how have you Improved the Future?

Oh, we're still only working in Theories?

All while AI Slop is Dominating the Internet?

I'm not saying this to be a Cynic or to say that these "Futures" are Useless.

There are some Amazing Practical Uses for the Metaverse.

Different Mediums of Communicating Ideas Can Be Powerful.

AI has Uses Today, and We'll Figure out More Tomorrow that are Valid.

But here's the Truth.

None of these are "Actually" going to Change the Future.

You can Gain Skills in All of these Different Technologies and Mediums, and it will do Little to Change the Future.

Why?

They are All Failing to Hit on the One Skill that Truly Changes the Future.

How do I know?

Look at the Trends Around Us.

We've been going down All of these Different Avenues, but are they "Improving" the World?

Rates of Depression are Increasing.

Anxiety is Increasing.

Burnout is Increasing.

Wealth Gaps are Increasing.

Lifespans are Decreasing.

Sickness is Increasing.

This is only a "Tiny" List of the Worsening Problems we are Facing when it comes to the Future.

We see More and More that "Progress" as Many Companies have been Defining it, is Pushing Us Backwards and Away from a More Desirable Future.

So much so that Many People are Completely Giving Up.

There is a Rising Tide of People Chanting...

"Let It All Burn".

But what is Missing?

We have "Incredibly" Intelligent People who "Want" to Change the Future.

We have "Incredibly" Caring People who "Want" to Change the Future.

We have "Incredibly" High Funding going into "Wanting" to Change the Future.

But it Is Not Happening?

Why?

When you Really Break It Down, we can Find the Root of the Problem...

The Skill We Need?

The Ability to Accurately Assess If We Are Asking the Right Questions.

That is What We Are Missing.

I see it Frequently.

People have Answers.

It is Easy to Get Answers.

AI is making it Even Faster and Simpler to get Answers (Though, at what Cost is a Different Issue).

Answers Exist Everywhere!

Some are Great.

Some are Needed.

Some are Snake Oil.

But I Guarantee that if you Ask "Any" Question, You Will Get An Answer!

What is the Best Medication For This Issue?

You'll get an Answer.

What is the Best Marketing Strategy?

You'll get an Answer.

Why Do I Have this Problem?

You'll get an Answer.

But the Issue we are Seeing is that People are Asking the Wrong Questions Constantly.

Then, No One "Questions" the Quality of the Question.

I Discovered this in Leadership Development.

People Frequently ask, "What Leadership Program is Needed to Create Leaders?"

Then, they got a Huge List.

You Know What No One Was Asking?

Why Does Leadership Development "Completely" Fail 80% of the Time?

With "Limited" Success the Remaining Time.

There are Answers, and those led me to design Sageship.

I see Leaders Ask, "How Do I Make My Teams Come Up With More Innovative Solutions?"

Then, they got a Huge List.

You Know What No One Was Asking?

Why Are Employees "Refusing" to Engage in the Process of Innovation?

There are Answers to this as well.

Employees "Love" to Engage in the Process of Innovation, and they "Want" to Engage in the Process, it's Built Into How Humans Function Psychophysiologically.

Yet, they Still Refuse to Engage.

I see Entrepreneurs Ask, "What is the Best Way to Market My Product/Service"?

Then, they got a Huge List.

You Know What No One Was Asking?

Why are So Many Failing to Get Seen At All?

There are Answers here that also exist.

Most Ideas Fail because People are Asking the Wrong Questions.

It is a Problem we Frequently Face.

Perhaps we have become Terrible at Asking Questions "Because" it is So Simple to get Answers.

This is what I Know though...

If we are to Create a Better Future, the Quality of our Questions "Must" Improve.

This is going to be the Difference between the Downward Spiral We Have Been Experiencing, and "True" Progress.

The Future Will Belong to Those Who Ask the Right Questions.
