\"artificial<\/a>Artificial Intelligence is the buzz now. Will it replace jobs? Will it help or hinder local economies? How will it affect teams?\u00a0 The answers to these questions point overwhelming to how advancing artificial intelligence requires group dynamic advancements, too.<\/p>\n

New technologies, specifically advancements in AI, have prompted leaders to shift their focus in order to remain competitive and successful in the global climate. According to\u00a0Mercer\u2019s\u00a02018<\/em>\u00a0Global Talent Trends Study \u2013 Unlocking Growth in the Human Age<\/em>, 95 percent of US companies are planning organization design changes and 91 percent have included innovation on their core agenda for 2018. This surfaced human resource concerns. However, the study also points to how\u00a0advancing artificial intelligence requires group dynamic advancements, as well.<\/p>\n

While the ability to change is a key strategy for success in the global marketplace, employees are looking for leaders who set clear direction, as well as control of their personal and professional lives with more than half of employees seeking flexible work options. The challenge for organizations, then, is to build employee soft skills for the group process problems they will face.<\/p>\n

According to Ilya Bonic, President of Mercer\u2019s Career Business Units, \u201cThis year we saw palpable excitement from executives about shifting to the new world of work. They are pursuing an agenda of continuous evolution \u2013 rather than episodic transformation \u2013 to remain competitive. They recognize that it\u2019s the combination of human skills plus advanced digital technology that will drive their business forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

As AI is on everyone’s mind, the question has been: will it impact group dynamics?\u00a0According to this new research, it appears so. It will also surface positive benefits in the areas of the TIGERS\u00ae six principles: trust, interdependence, genuineness, empathy, risk and success for group process to be successful.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence requires group dynamic advancements in soft skills<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Soft skills that support the TIGERS six principles group behavior dynamics will be even more important. Group dynamics are highlighted as an integral area necessary for success.\u00a0Looking forward, as mundane work can be replaced by AI and robotics, employees are freed to be problem solvers. This means forming and developing agile teams becomes increasingly important. Therefore, how employees relate to one another, work through problems and address growth opportunities is now even more critical to career success.<\/p>\n

Soft skills are typically harder to assess than hard skills. Chief executives, however, are starting to realize the importance of these intangible but important qualities that allow team members to work and interact with others effectively.\u00a0 \u00a0Some important soft skills to focus on include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Listening.\u00a0 Good communicators know how to listen to others, which includes not thinking of a response while the other person is talking. They also ask follow-up questions and make the conversation about the other person \u2013 not themselves.<\/li>\n
  2. Taking accountability. The ability to take accountability for your actions is the core of integrity, and it builds trust between team members.<\/li>\n
  3. Thinking creatively. Creative thinking sets the stage for innovation, and the best innovators are able to work with what they have without focusing on what they don\u2019t, and they get the job done.<\/li>\n
  4. Knowing your feelings. Emotional awareness is essential for business and life. Sometimes your initial emotion isn\u2019t your true emotion, and you may need to take a minute to reflect before you act. Seek guidance from a trusted source or sleep on it before sending an angry letter to ensure you aren\u2019t hastily acting out of one emotion or another.<\/li>\n
  5. Having empathy. Empathy is one of the TIGERS six principles for success, and it\u2019s vital for a reason. You can\u2019t genuinely connect with others if you aren\u2019t able to put yourself in their position and see things from their point of view. And, when it comes to resolving team misunderstandings, procedural problems and conflict, empathy is required to solve interpersonal problems at the root cause.<\/li>\n
  6. Group process.\u00a0 Understanding the stepping stones and key criteria for effective group process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Artificial intelligence requires group dynamic advancements through training<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    To help improve your team\u2019s soft skills, follow the following training formula:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Assess your group behavior dynamic<\/span><\/a>s to determine what areas of trust, interdependence, genuineness, empathy, risk resolution and success require bolstering.<\/li>\n
    2. Determine what areas of the balance sheet would benefit from improvement in any of those areas.<\/li>\n
    3. Build agile team development around specific company initiatives into the soft skill and team development training design.<\/li>\n
    4. Train team members in the soft skills that have risen to the top as important from the assessment.<\/li>\n
    5. Develop team, train and track your progress (the ultimate t to the 3rd power for success “t3”).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Artificial intelligence is here. It\u2019s quickly becoming more prevalent in the workplace. AI is changing how teams function and operate. While AI allows for advancements in some areas, leaders need to shift their focus toward group dynamics and effective group process to ensure their team members are best suited for working in the new environment. since artificial intelligence requires group dynamic advancements, too, shifting employee training\u00a0 focus onto soft skills and group development allows leaders and their teams to remain competitive in the global climate.<\/p>\n
