Multipotentiality

Forget what you’ve heard. The future of work is not automated, remote, or gig [1]. It’s multipotentiality.

If you are a multipotentialite, then you are a creative, driven individual with multiple interests, talents, skills, and areas of expertise. You have a diverse range of abilities and are still passionate about learning more. Your creativity is flexible, as you may pursue one interesting topic in-depth for some time before switching to an entirely unrelated topic.

Multipotentiality can materialize [2] in various ways, like having multiple careers, pursuing several hobbies, or exploring different passions all at once. So, sticking with one focus—or career, for that matter—may drive a multipotentialite stir crazy [3], causing them to jump from one job to the next without ever truly being settled on [4] a defined path.

The strength of multipotentiality lies in its adaptability. Like Renaissance men and polymaths, the creativity of multipotentialites is endless, allowing them to connect seemingly dissimilar ideas to solve new problems, and alter their thinking to best fit different situations. They pick up new skills rapidly and are eager to apply them when able.

Multipotentiality is increasingly valued in the workforce, as multi-talented people are adept at [5] solving complex problems with innovative solutions. Not only is their hiring a smart decision for businesses in all industries, but it is also a proactive [6] choice since the World Economic Forum expects that 50% of all employees will need to reskill by 2025 to keep up with the labor market’s dynamism.

Luckily, multipotentiality cannot be diagnosed. Because it appears in many forms, we could all be multipotential in our own ways. So, do what you love, even if it doesn’t align exactly with your current or dream job. You have no idea how your passions can benefit your work unless you try.

멀티포텐셜리티

이제까지 들었던 이야기는 다 잊으세요. 직업의 미래는 자동화, 원격근무 또는 기그가 아닙니다. 바로 “멀티포텐셜리티(다재다능함)”입니다.

만약 당신이 멀티포텐셜라이트(다재다능한 사람)라면 당신은 다양한 관심사, 재능, 기술, 그리고 전문 분야를 갖춘 창의적이고 주도적인 사람입니다. 당신은 다양한 능력을 보유하고 있으면서도 여전히 더 많은 것을 배우고자 하는 열정을 가지고 있습니다. 당신의 창의성은 유연해서, 당신은 한 가지 흥미로운 주제를 한동안 심도 있게 탐구하고 난 다음 전혀 관련 없는 새로운 주제로 전환할 것입니다.

멀티포텐셜리티는 여러 가지 직업을 갖거나, 여러 가지 취미를 추구하거나, 하고 싶은 여러 가지 것을 한꺼번에 시도하는 것과 같이 다양한 방식으로 나타날 수 있습니다. 따라서 한 가지 분야 혹은 직업에만 집중하는 것은 멀티포텐셜라이트를 불안하고 안절부절 못하게 만들어서 하나의 정해진 진로에 정착하지 못한 채 이 직장 저 직장을 전전하게 만들 수 있습니다.

멀티포텐셜리티의 강점은 적응력에 있습니다. 팔방미인이나 박학다식한 사람들과 마찬가지로 멀티포텐셜라이트의 창의력은 무궁무진하여 서로 다르게 보이는 아이디어를 연결하여 새로운 문제를 해결하고, 다양한 상황에 가장 잘 맞게 자신들의 사고를 바꿀 수 있습니다. 이들은 새로운 기술을 빠르게 습득하고 가능한 때 적용하고 싶어합니다.

다재다능한 인재는 혁신적인 방안으로 복잡한 문제를 해결하는 데 능숙하기 때문에 직장에서 멀티포텐셜리티는 점점 더 가치를 인정받고 있습니다. 모든 산업 분야의 기업에서 이런 인재를 채용하는 것은 현명한 결정일 뿐만 아니라, 세계경제포럼은 2025년까지 전체 직업인의 50%가 노동시장의 역동성을 따라잡기 위해 재교육을 받아야 할 것으로 예상하고 있기 때문에 선제적인 선택이기도 합니다.

다행히도 멀티포텐셜리티는 진단을 내릴 수 있는 것이 아닙니다. 멀티포텐셜리티는 다양한 형태로 나타나기 때문에 우리 모두는 각자의 방식으로 다재다능함을 발휘할 수 있습니다. 따라서 당신이 좋아하는 일이 현재 직업이나 꿈의 직업과 정확히 맞지 않더라도 그 좋아하는 일을 하세요. 시도해보지 않으면 당신의 열정이 당신의 일에 어떤 도움이 될지 알 수 없습니다.
