Just as we were getting used to the information age, Daniel Pink tells us that it is ending. With it goes our focus on charts, statistics, and linear thinking. Traditional “left-brain” activities like logic, analysis, and repetitive production are being turned over to robots, computers, and offshore labor. The valued skills of the 21st century will be those of the right brain: empathy, design, synthesis, and contextual thinking.

Daniel is ‘right on’ in this video. Never allow yourself to work in an area where you cannot be creative or allowed to grow and cause change for the good. This goes for any job, position or work assignment. Sometimes, the old saying or attitude of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix-it’ is wrong. Thinking and doing ‘outside of the box’ is good as long as no safety issues or regulations are violated.
