"Instead, he argued that the next generation should prioritize what he sees as a timeless advantage: the ability to tell a strong story. "That's your ability to look at data, create a narrative arc and then communicate that story in a compelling way via all the different mediums," he said. "I think you have to write well.""
"Galloway noted that about a decade ago, many private schools poured resources into teaching Mandarin and computer science. The schools assumed those skills would give students a long-term advantage. In hindsight, he argued, that bet hasn't paid off the way many expected. "How's that worked out?" Galloway said. "'Thank god my kid knows Mandarin,' said nobody right now.""
"Galloway said top CEOs tend to stand out for their storytelling ability. He gave examples like Jeff Bezos's early shareholder letters and Jensen Huang's high-energy, arena-style presentations. These examples are "very compelling," Galloway said."
Storytelling is presented as a lasting advantage for the AI-driven future. The ability to analyze data, create a narrative arc, and communicate a compelling story across different mediums is emphasized as more valuable than skills assumed to provide long-term advantage. Mandarin and computer science are cited as examples of skills that schools invested in heavily, but that have not delivered the expected payoff. Strong storytelling is linked to effective leadership, with examples including Jeff Bezos’s early shareholder letters and Jensen Huang’s high-energy presentations. Writing well is also highlighted as part of the storytelling capability.
