Key WEF Finding
Human-centric skills — creativity, emotional intelligence, collaboration — have become the hard currency of the labour market.
While 170 million new roles are expected to be created globally, 92 million will be displaced. The skills that survive automation are uniquely human — empathy, leadership, and curiosity have just a 13% potential for AI transformation.

Harvard Gazette · 2025

The science is unequivocal: emotional intelligence is not a personality trait you're born with. It is a set of competencies that can be systematically developed — and the organisations that invest in it outperform those that don't.
