EQ in the Robotic Age

Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important part in business, but where will that leave humans? Our emotional intelligence could become our unique selling point:

A survey by the World Economic Forum found that we could lose five million jobs over the next five years due to technology.
Robots and software systems are taking on more sophisticated roles in businesses and being employed to carry out numerous traditionally human tasks.
Increasingly, humans will have to compete against robots and AI for roles.
The human creative skills set will set you apart from machines and become your unique selling point.
In particular, a person’s EQ may become their key differentiator; perhaps even the reason they’re hired.
Numerous psychological studies have suggested that women excel in EQ; could this be the catalyst for more women to step up into leadership roles?
