&lt;p&gt;Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, announces today that Gord Johnston will retire as president and chief executive officer, effective October 1.

&lt;p&gt;Not everyone, however.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In particular, Algoma&amp;#039;s CEO, who had previously decided he would retire at the end of 2025, was set to receive a multimillion-dollar compensation package approved by Algoma&amp;#039;s board ...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/26/06/g53263719/algoma-steel-ceo-walks-away-with-6-8-million-in-wake-of-1-000-layoffs-and-billion-dollar-loss?utm_source=benzinga_taxonomy&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss_feed_free&amp;amp;utm_content=taxonomy_rss&amp;amp;utm_campaign=channel alt=Algoma Steel CEO walks away with $6.8 million in wake of 1,000 layoffs and billion-dollar loss&gt;Full story available on Benzinga.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;The selection of Hamilton follows a comprehensive national search by CTC&amp;#039;s Board of Directors. The Board sought a leader who will build on the company&amp;#039;s strong foundation and drive its next phase of growth and innovation in support of complex customer missions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;It is an honor to join Concurrent Technologies Corporation at such a pivotal time in its history,&quot; said Hamilton. &quot;CTC&amp;#039;s reputation for technical excellence, mission focus, and customer commitment is impressive. I look forward to working with the talented CTC team to build on this legacy of delivering innovative solutions to hard problems that address the challenging needs of our nation.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>C-Suite and HR Leaders Say Both Life Skills  and AI Skills Matter</title>
  <link>https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/26/06/g53257240/c-suite-and-hr-leaders-say-both-life-skills-and-ai-skills-matter?utm_source=benzinga_taxonomy&amp;utm_medium=rss_feed_free&amp;utm_content=taxonomy_rss&amp;utm_campaign=channel</link>
  <description>&lt;link type=&quot;text/css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;https://www.globenewswire.com/styles/gnw_nitf.css&quot; /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HIGH POINT, N.C., June  17, 2026  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new national study from High Point University reveals a striking consensus between C-Suite executives and Human Resources professionals: while skills in artificial intelligence are increasingly valuable in today&amp;#39;s workplace, life skills remain the decisive factor in hiring decisions and achieving career success.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These leaders consistently agree that both life skills and AI skills matter. Yet when forced to choose between the two, both groups overwhelmingly preferred job candidates with life skills such as emotional intelligence and a strong work ethic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Powerful Combination&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two surveys were fielded separately with two distinct samples from April 28-30, 2026. Despite different vantage points — one group setting strategic direction, the other managing talent pipelines — they arrived at similar conclusions with their answers aligning within 1-4 percentage points on nearly every survey item.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A few examples of these aligned findings include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;90% of C-Suite executives and 93% of HR pros agree that life skills such as emotional intelligence, work ethic, motivation and collaboration still matter when hiring in the AI era.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;87% of C-Suite executives and 92% of HR pros say the ideal leader in the workplace possesses a balance of technical and life skills.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;Only 17% of C-Suite executives and 14% of HR pros have ever hired someone based solely on AI experience.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;When asked to devise their &quot;perfect employee,&quot; 64% of C-Suite executives and 66% of HR pros chose a roughly 50/50 blend of AI skills and life skills.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&quot;We are intensely focused on the success of our students and work tirelessly to ensure the education we provide fits the needs of the competitive marketplace,&quot; says HPU President Nido Qubein. &quot;This is why HPU has surveyed business leaders over the years for their feedback, and these results reaffirm our mission as The Premier Life Skills University. Even in the midst of artificial intelligence changing the workplace, employers continue to tell us they need graduates equipped with life skills that outlast inevitable technological disruption.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;These findings highlight why life skills remain at the center of career success,&quot; says Heidi Echols, director of HPU&amp;#039;s Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning. &quot;AI can enhance how work is done, but it is human capabilities like communication, collaboration and problem solving that determine how effectively AI is used. At High Point University, we are focused on a human-centered approach to AI that prepares students to excel in both areas.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Life Skills Remain Crucial for Career Success&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When forced to choose between a candidate with solely AI technical capabilities or one with solely life skills, the winner was clear: 75% of C-Suite executives and 78% of HR professionals chose the life skills candidate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This preference also held firm across every specific life skill tested:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;Emotional intelligence or AI: 70% of C-Suite executives and 72% of HR pros preferred emotional intelligence&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;Motivation or AI: 75% of C-Suite executives and 79% of HR pros preferred motivation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;Coachability or AI: 75% of C-Suite executives and 79% of HR pros preferred coachability&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;Positive temperament or AI: 76% of C-Suite executives and 79% of HR pros preferred positive temperament&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Life Skills Are Harder to Teach New Employees&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both groups overwhelmingly agree that life skills are substantially more difficult to train than AI skills. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C-Suite executives rated which was &lt;i&gt;harder&lt;/i&gt; to train — various life skills or AI:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;81% said leadership is harder to train than AI skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;80% said emotional intelligence is harder to train than AI skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;79% said problem solving is harder to train than AI skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;78% said overall life skills are harder to train than AI skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;77% said professionalism is harder to train than AI skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;76% said adaptability and motivation are harder to train than AI skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, HR professionals rated which was &lt;i&gt;easier&lt;/i&gt; to train — life skills or AI skills: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;77% said AI skills are easier to train than motivation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;74% said AI skills are easier to train than leadership&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;74% said AI skills are easier to train than emotional intelligence&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;70% said AI skills are easier to train than problem solving&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;70% said AI skills are easier to train than a positive temperament &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Consistent Consensus Over the Years&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In two previous national surveys (2018 and 2022), HPU asked C-Suite leaders similar questions about which is more important — technical skills or life skills. Both groups have reported consistent findings over the years despite the disruptions of COVID-19, remote work and now artificial intelligence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=VF1H-E7JdeR1H8Uy1S5Hl8AN5kjElq4PWOYreEaraaECUUNswo4bUKGSOybQRMZA544pZOsDQub8auowzZIAhy4kEM6ry9NMOoiV3bKQCRuhyNdonF1GifnHc9SAk_K3BfzxUYUiwoU16TxgStPAxKt3RDwO43QW8DIP63LGrlsv13Y34wLehGBPHx80zHcB4CPy2rKpX0WTfhKZMW3JFc7DGs5AkhVCCvzBuRfGxAg=&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;2018&lt;/a&gt;, 65% of executives said they would rather colleges equip students with life skills such as motivation, emotional intelligence and the ability to solve problems, as opposed to 35% who said they would rather colleges instill technical skills such as training on a specific software or subject. However, 67% of executives believed that colleges were better at teaching technical skills than life skills.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=7XrN1S9ckimYh1Y4dVOXvQRIoxsHoNLmrTmA4ujXcYr1pYf1YgakAGj83j8RqElZOkhc34oK3qalv1EOeuGhW1PgYqO6VRD3wSx1MJcgWcJr3CK_IVQ1h0nWTFleLEaG2PkiNVV9ymgupfB7VkOFKRewIQC6-DP3m-9XImUDgpk=&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;2022&lt;/a&gt;, similarly, when asked a series of questions about which is easier to develop — life skills or technical skills — a majority of 75% said it is much easier to develop an employee&amp;#039;s technical skills than personal initiative. Additionally, 70% said it is much easier to develop an employee&amp;#039;s technical skills than it is to develop their coachability.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 2022 survey also asked which of these attributes would most likely cause an employee to be overlooked for a promotion at your organization:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;46% - Doesn&amp;#039;t accept feedback and constructive criticism&lt;br /&gt;36% - Doesn&amp;#039;t know how to solve complex problems&lt;br /&gt;18% - Doesn&amp;#039;t have the technical skills needed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How Both Groups Use AI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to sharing the best mix for employees to thrive in their workplaces, C-Suite executives and HR pros also shared how AI is part of their work each day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both groups are deeply familiar with AI itself: 84% of executives and 86% of HR pros have tried AI chatbots, and majorities use AI in their work. The study results do not reflect the opinions of individuals who are unfamiliar with this new technology. They instead are the  judgment of leaders who know the technology well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Executives say they most commonly use AI for research or to find more information about a specific topic (72%), to edit written content (54%) or to summarize information from documents or meetings (51%). HR pros had similar but slightly different responses, reporting that they most commonly use AI for research or to find more information about a specific topic (75%), to edit written content (67%) or to draft reports, documents or other written content (63%). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More than half of both groups say they use AI either every day or a few times a week for tasks at work. Meanwhile, 34% of executives and 31% of HR pros say AI has drastically changed the way they work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Gap Between Graduate Preparation and Employer Preference&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The survey reveals a concerning disconnect: 44% of C-Suite executives and 46% of HR professionals believe recent college graduates are more strongly prepared with AI and technical skills, while only 17-18% see them as prepared with life skills. Yet when asked what they prefer graduates to be prepared with, 39% of C-Suite executives and 44% of HR pros chose life skills and professionalism — more than double those choosing AI skills alone (15%/14%).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Life Skills Enable AI Success&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Coming full circle, C-Suite executives also identified life skills as the foundation for effective AI implementation. When asked which skills are important for effectively learning and implementing AI, the top responses were:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; margin-bottom:0in;&quot;&gt;Problem solving (68%)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-top:0in; ...&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/26/06/g53257240/c-suite-and-hr-leaders-say-both-life-skills-and-ai-skills-matter?utm_source=benzinga_taxonomy&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss_feed_free&amp;amp;utm_content=taxonomy_rss&amp;amp;utm_campaign=channel alt=C-Suite and HR Leaders Say Both Life Skills  and AI Skills Matter&gt;Full story available on Benzinga.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;II. Board Elects Li Shanglong (Michael Li) as New Chairman and Appoints Shao Weizhi (Eric Shao) as New Chief Executive Officer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following careful review and election by the Board, the Board has resolved to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-bottom:8pt;&quot;&gt;elect Mr. Li Shanglong (Michael Li) as the Company&amp;#039;s new Chairman; and&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-bottom:8pt;&quot;&gt;appoint Mr. Shao Weizhi (Eric Shao) as the Company&amp;#039;s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About Mr. Li Shanglong (Michael Li)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The rapid expansion of edge computing and distributed digital infrastructure is becoming a major driver for the market. Enterprises, telecom operators, and cloud providers are increasingly deploying smaller edge data centers closer to end users to support low-latency applications such as AI inference, autonomous systems, IoT platforms, video streaming, and 5G services. Unlike hyperscale facilities concentrated in major hubs, edge sites are often located in areas with weaker grid reliability and limited utility redundancy, increasing the need for dependable backup and continuous power solutions. This trend is driving demand for compact, modular, and fast-start generator systems that can operate efficiently in decentralized environments. Vendors are therefore focusing on scalable diesel and gas-powered gensets with remote monitoring, hybrid energy integration, and lower-emission capabilities to support the growing number of distributed mission-critical facilities worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The emergence of hydrogen-ready and hybrid power generator technologies is expected to significantly transform the data center generators market over the coming years. Generator manufacturers are increasingly developing gas-powered systems capable of operating on hydrogen blends, biogas, and renewable fuels to help data center operators reduce carbon emissions while maintaining high power reliability. At the same time, hybrid power architectures integrating generators with battery energy storage systems (BESS), renewable energy sources, and intelligent microgrid controls are gaining traction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;These systems improve fuel efficiency, reduce generator runtime, and support peak load management during grid instability. Advanced digital monitoring platforms using AI-based predictive maintenance and real-time energy optimization are also improving operational efficiency and uptime. Together, these advancements ...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/26/06/g53251625/data-center-generators-market-surges-to-9-79-billion-at-a-cagr-2-7-by-2031-exclusive-report-by-mar?utm_source=benzinga_taxonomy&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss_feed_free&amp;amp;utm_content=taxonomy_rss&amp;amp;utm_campaign=channel alt=Data Center Generators Market Surges to $9.79 billion at a CAGR 2.7% by 2031 | Exclusive Report by MarketsandMarkets™&gt;Full story available on Benzinga.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
