Let's Embrace the How, not the What...

The challenge to conquer the future is eclipsed by the daily basis in how we work in the present. And sometimes the step by step give us the pathway to reach our future goals, but not all the time is in the same way. And we need to be clever to understand and comprehend that. For example, most of the companies still living inside a box, and they are not willing to change, they still thinking if you are a banker you have the skills to work in a financial institution, if you are a teacher, an architect, a graphic designer, an engineer, maybe not. However, this is a full mistake, sometimes wisdom is in different corners that we could imagine.

Competences are the core of any hiring, and companies are not seeing it. They are looking for line curriculums not for smart adaptation, and the future what it has is the need of adapting people for different environments, not just survivors of a well-stablished journeys. That's why now it's most important than ever to embrace the how, instead the what.

And this looks very simple, however, most of the people are not willing to make this small change, but remember, if the human kind doesn't allow to itself to make those kind of changes, the Elon Musk's or the Nikola Tesla's don't a have a place with us, and that could be the end of our progress as a specie.

Two of my main statements are breaking silos and thinking outside-the-box, but please take a moment and think, are you willing to do it?, are you willing to debate, negotiate and even change your mindset?, that's the clue of the progress, in how you confront your nightmares and convert them in dreams.

So, please think twice, I want someone that just is willing to do what is needed, or I'm willing to risk and challenge the future embracing the how's instead the what's.
