You need the enduring skills of:
• Critical thinking – because you must evaluate evidence and arguments.
• Skepticism – because you shouldn’t believe everything you hear, see or read.
• Systems thinking – because you need to find and use the leverage points in large, complex systems.
• Design thinking – because you need sustainable solutions to complex challenges.
• Future thinking -- because you must anticipate changes in the larger environment.
