In this sixth installment of our blog series on interpersonal skills, you’ll learn about how being a team player will propel your career and how perfecting this one skill will help you set yourself apart in your data science career!
The good news for today’s workers is that despite some of the challenges facing them, there is still time to prepare for the Future of Work including upskilling in some of the most important interpersonal skills that will help protect their careers from automation and make them better data scientists.
The automation and elimination of workers’ jobs is a popular topic in almost every industry. According to McKinsey, in the US alone, between 39 and 73 million jobs stand to be automated within the next 5 years, which is around a third of the total workforce. Most of these jobs are being automated by robots. Additionally, companies are streamlining overall business processes, which puts those who have not taken steps to prepare at an even greater risk of losing their jobs.

Collaborating with Teammates
It’s very important to collaborate with your teammates and management team to foster community and to ensure you are being effective. Towards Data Science says that team building is an extremely important part of working as a data scientist and further states, “Without team cohesion, every one of us would just be a disconnected piece of the puzzle. Without teamwork, every one of us would not share a common ground to eventually reach and achieve our common goals.” So how exactly can you become a team player?
5 Quick Ways To Be a Team Player
