A guide for individuals and organizations navigating the complex and ambiguous Future of Work Foreword by New York Times columnist and bestselling author Thomas L.
Friedman Technology is changing work as we know it.
Cultural norms are undergoing tectonic shifts.
A global pandemic proves that we are inextricably connected whether we choose to be or not.
So much change, so quickly, is disorienting.
It's undermining our sense of identity and challenging our ability to adapt.
But where so many see these changes as threatening, Heather Mc Gowan and Chris Shipley see the opportunity to open the flood gates of human potentialif we can change the way we think about work and leadership.
They have dedicated the last 5 years to understanding how technical, business, and cultural shifts affecting the workplace have brought us to this crossroads, The result is a powerful and practical guide to the future of work for leaders and employees.
The future can be better, but only if we let go of our attachment to our traditional (and disappearing) ideas about careers, and what a "good job" looks like.
Blending wisdom from interviews with hundreds of executives, The Adaptation Advantage explains the profound changes happening in the world of work and posits the solution: new ways to think about careers that detach our sense of pride and personal identity from our job title, and connect it to our sense of purpose.
Activating purpose, the authors suggest, will inherently motivate learning, engagement, empowerment, and lead to new forms of pride and identity throughout the workforce.
Only when we let go of our rigid career identities can we embrace and appreciate the joys of learning and adapting to new realitiesand help our organizations do the same.
Of course, making this transition is hard.
It requires leaders who can attract and motivate cognitively diverse teams fueled by a strong sense of purpose in an environment of psychological safetydespite fierce competition and external pressures.
Adapting to the future of work has always called for strong leadership.
Now, as a pandemic disrupts so many aspects of work, adapting is a leadership imperative.
The Adaptation Advantage is an essential guide to help leaders meet that challenge.
