Nobody Is Omniscient
Michael Hiesinger
The current edition of our magazine “future“ deals with the subject of Future Work Skills. What we wanted to know: name three things that everyone in your profession has to be able to do! Are “Future Work Skills” a relevant topic for you? How do you stay fit for the working world of the future?
Student Michael Hiesinger:
Three Skills:
I’m currently active in a social gastronomy business, which takes perseverance, flexibility, a willingness to experiment, and an acceptance of the fact that I don’t know everything.
Relevant Topic:
My field of activity is not a traditional one, which means that many things that I have learned do not apply to my job. In concrete situations, I have to (re)act individually and flexibly. There are no patent solutions.
Working World of the Future:
If you want to bring about change and establish new structures, you have to try new things. Many of these will not work – this is a fact that you have to accept. Also, you have to discard the belief that you know the ways of the world. Nobody is omniscient.
