Global Skills Handbook:
How to Prepare Yourself for the Coming New Era

The method we use to work, plan and execute in the new era of work is very different than how most office executives are working right now! The new order of work demands: clarity of communication, quickness of response, current systems of virtual management and tracking of worldwide projects.

The worker of tomorrow needs to understand cross-cultural communication, new customer expectations, virtual teamwork, fast iterative project design, Internet learning styles and so much more.

The new order of working also demands new aptitudes. In his new book, The Whole New Mind, Daniel Pink says workers of tomorrow will require artistic and holistic thinking to be able to produce the most value. It will no longer be enough to obtain professional skills. To really flourish now demands sharpening conceptual aptitudes and skills like design, meaning and empathy.

Things are changing so fast and become so competitive that you need all the help you can get to acquire the skill sets to succeed in the flat world. Thomas Friedman talks about his kids in his book The World is Flat. He knows that when his kids graduate they will be competing on an equal footing with Indian and Chinese kids.

No matter what your qualification and experience, if you want to be effective in working in or managing organizations in the virtual world, you will find this book useful. If you have kids and you are wondering what to do to prepare them for the new world ahead then you better read this book.

This exciting little book represents the cutting edge of insight and instruction to prepare your career for the opportunities ahead. The future workplace requires new disciplines and some ‘unlearning’ of old ways. So get ready to go on an exciting learning journey.
