"Don't become a commodity. Remember that many mechanical and even decision-making skills can be replaced by technology. Keep asking yourself whether what you do could be replaced by a silicon chip. To avoid becoming a commodity become the very best at what you do. The world still needs some bank managers; not everything can be done by machine. You simply need to be one of the best. Then build your EQ or emotional intelligence skills; the ones which almost by definition a machine cannot do - leading, being empathetic or creative, innovative and inspiring. Finally, offer high ROI - return on investment. Be extraordinarily good value. That doesn't mean long hours; it simple means that what you do is done so effectively that nobody would want to lose you."
