AI increases the importance of communication skills for business success. Major tech and AI companies pay high salaries for leaders who can manage communications at a high level. Warren Buffett emphasizes that communicating in life is enormously important and that schools underemphasize it. He tackled fear of public speaking early by taking a Dale Carnegie course at age 20. Over decades at Berkshire Hathaway, he became a prolific communicator whose voice could move markets. Buffett warns that failing to communicate and convey ideas limits potential. Employer surveys also rank verbal and written communication skills highly for recent graduates. He advises lifelong learning, using role models, and copying effective examples.
"“You've got to be able to communicate in life, and it's enormously important,” the Oracle of Omaha said during a 2013 interview with Levo League, a career website for young women. “Schools, to some extent, under-emphasize that.”"
"“If you can't communicate and talk to other people and get across your ideas, you're giving up your potential,” Buffett emphasized."
"“It is never too late to improve,” he wrote. “Get the right heroes and copy them.”"
