In his book "The World is Flat," Thomas Friedman speaks of the ability to "play well with others," and its importance when completing on a level playing field in a flat world in the 21st century.
"There are going to be a whole slew of new middle jobs that involve personalized, high-touch interactions with other human beings," he says "because it is precisely those personalized high-touch interactions that can never be outsourced or automated and are almost always necessary at some point in the value chain."
