The good news for today’s workers is that despite some of the challenges facing them, there is still time to prepare for the Future of Work including upskilling in some of the most important interpersonal skills that will help protect their careers from automation and make them better data scientists.
The automation and elimination of workers’ jobs are popular topics in almost every industry. According to McKinsey, in the US alone, between 39 and 73 million jobs stand to be automated within the next 5 years, which is around a third of the total workforce. Most of these jobs are being automated by robots. Additionally, companies are streamlining overall business processes, which puts those who have not taken steps to prepare at an even greater risk of losing their jobs.

Responsiveness to Feedback
Being open to feedback and being able to understand and appreciate critical or opposing viewpoints is important to success in any career. You must take the time to step back and evaluate feedback objectively and constructively. Most processes in data science and other disciplines are iterative, which means that you receive feedback multiple times and have to use that feedback to edit or change your approach.
Make sure that you are not only quick with feedback but your response is well thought-out. You may also think about including action items and ways you believe you can implement the feedback quicker. Showing that you’ve taken others’ feedback to heart shows the team and the person who offered the feedback that you value their opinion.
Make sure to stay tuned for the 3 other interpersonal skills that will set you apart in your data science career. In each blog post, we will review one of these skills and show you specific ways to improve your professional life.
