A guide for individuals and organizations navigating the complex
and ambiguous Future of Work Foreword by New York Times columnist
and best-selling 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 McGowan and Chris Shipley see the
opportunity to open the flood gates of human potential--if 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 realities--and 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 safety--despite 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.
