The demographics of employees are changing and so are employee expectations, values, attitudes, and styles of working. Conventional management models must be replaced with leadership approaches adapted to the future employee. Organizations must also rethink their traditional structure, how they empower employees, and what they need to do to remain competitive in a rapidly changing world.

This is a book about how employees of the future will work, how managers will lead, and what organizations of the future will look like.

The Future of Work features uncommon examples and easy to understand concepts which will challenge and inspire you to work differently.

“If you don’t think about and plan for the future of

work then your organization has no

future.”-Jacob Morgan

“Ultimately, what separates a winner from a loser at the grandmaster level is the willingness to do

the unthinkable. A brilliant strategy is, certainly, a matter of intelligence, but intelligence without

audaciousness is not enough. Given the opportunity, I must have the guts to explode the

game, to upend my opponent’s thinking and, in so doing, unnerve him. So it is in business: One does not succeed by sticking to convention. When your opponent can easily anticipate every move you make, your strategy deteriorates and becomes

commoditized.”

-Garry Kasparov

“Management has not yet considered in any depth what is

“Change is the only constant and in that type of an environment

the only way to know what works and what doesn’t is by trying

things out. Every experiment is a chance to learn what works and

what doesn’t.”- Jacob Morgan

“Today because knowledge is available on every Internet connected device, what you know matters far less than what you can do

with what you know. The capacity to innovate—the ability to solve problems

creatively or bring new possibilities to life—and skills like critical thinking,

communication and collaboration are far more important than academic knowledge.”

-Dr. Tony Wagner

I need you to be clever, Bean. I need you

to think of solutions to problems we haven’t seen yet. I want you to

“A small organization may have one manager and 10 employees; one with

100,000 employees and the same 1:10 span of control will have 11,111

managers. That’s because an additional 1,111 managers will be needed to

manage the managers.” -Gary Hamel

Author of, “What Matters Now.” World leading

authority on management.

“Managers who don’t lead are quite discouraging, but leaders who don’t manage don’t know what’s going on. It’s a phony

separation that people are making betweenthe two.”

- Henry Mintzberg

business and management.

“Many companies innovate and change when they have to. In other words, they

wait for something bad to happen for their company to “dip” and then they

focus on innovation to bring them back to the status quo; sadly this puts the company in the same position it was just before tragedy struck; that’s not adaptation, that’s keeping your head

above water.”- Jacob Morgan

“We believe in each other to make these decisions,

and this faith has proven to be well-founded over

and over again.”-Valve employee handbook

What if CEO stood for ‘chief enabling officer’? What if that

CEO’s primary role were to nurture a breed of intrapreneurs who would grow into tomorrow’s

entrepreneurs?”- Richard branson
