DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT DIGITAL SKILLS?
According to Salesforce and their Global Digital Skills Index report, there is a big difference between what leaders think and what managers and individual workers think!
1. The everyday skills
Two-thirds of respondents say they’re unprepared for social media skills that the workplace will require over the next five years.
2. The generational skills
Only 31% of Gen Z respondents, the first truly digital native generation, feel “very equipped” for a digital-first job right now
3. The leadership and workforce skills
A majority of senior leadership respondents (54%) said they are prepared with the digital skills necessary now. However, less than half of managers and individual contributors agree, signaling a disconnect within organizations
Hmmm…
This correlates very well with my experience and has to do more with a misunderstanding of what real digital skills are needed
In other words, most leaders still do not understand what “Digital” is, while their teams do…thus the disconnect!
This can only be remedied by having all leadership teams go through hands-on digital training
Are you and your leaders ready for digital leadership?
