Читать книгу Work Disrupted - Jeff Schwartz - Страница 26

Though the future is unpredictable, there is a lot that we do know about the developments that will change how and where we work. This is because many are already underway. The way we frame what lies ahead is a critical navigational tool. Our traditional mental models and approaches to challenges will not serve as reliable guides. The signposts that follow can serve as practical guides for individuals who have families to support, mortgages to pay, and want to stay gainfully employed no matter what the future holds. These navigational tools can help empower the reader's own journey into the future of work.

The journey ahead begins with recognizing the rapidly evolving opportunities in front of us: The opportunities presented as work, workforces, and workplaces are being redesigned, redefined, and reimagined. The journey continues with the realization of the effort required to build resilience—in our careers, organizations, and leaders—for what lies ahead. And the journey culminates in planning and equipping ourselves for the growth and potential in the future—our growth as individuals, business leaders, citizens, and as a society. The path of this journey is the structure of this book.
