“We have arrived at a moment where we can backslide into the status quo or transform society for generations to come. How the Future Works makes the latter possible — providing us with a blueprint to deeply consider the future of work. It is a must-read for today’s leaders.”
Indra Nooyi, former Chairperson and CEO of PepsiCo and author of My Life in Full
The era of toiling nine-to-five, five-days-a-week in the office is being replaced by a better way — flexible work. But flexibility means a lot more than a day or two a week to “work from home” — 93% of your employees want more flexibility in when, not just where, they work. They want choice, and they are leaving their roles to find it. The most successful leaders will go much further than offering occasional remote work days — they will redesign every aspect of how work gets done, from redefining how organizational success is measured to training managers to make it happen.
How the Future Works: Leading Flexible Teams to Do the Best Work of Their Lives lays out the necessary steps to unlock the potential of your people and empower a flexible, high-performing team. It teaches readers to lead with purpose, to manage and measure differently, and to recognize that by letting go, you’ll get more back than you thought possible.
“We know flexibility is the future of work — the big question is how. This book combines the latest data with actionable advice on giving people more freedom without settling for less excellence.”
Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again
“I pay attention to the Future Forum. And if you’re interested in folks who take in gobs of data, listen, ask useful questions, and make helpful judgements on how we might work now, you might too.”
Priya Parker, author of The Art of Gathering
“How the Future Works uncovers the key principles for building a culture that connects, supports, and inspires every employee in this new all-digital, work-from-anywhere world. It’s an essential guidebook for transforming the way people work and unlocking their potential.”
Marc Benioff, Chair and Co-CEO of Salesforce
