If you only read one book on the future of work, Work Disrupted:
Opportunity, Resilience, and Growth in the Accelerated Future of
Work should be that book. The future of work swept in sooner than
expected, accelerated by Covid-19, creating an urgent need for new
maps, new mindsets, new strategies-- and most importantly, a
trusted guide to take us on this journey. That guide is Jeff
Schwartz. A founding partner of Deloitte Consulting's Future of
Work practice, Schwartz brings clarity, humor, wisdom, and
practical advice to the future of work, a topic surrounded by
misinformation, fear, and confusion. With a fundamental belief in
the power of human innovation and creativity, Schwartz presents the
key issues, critical choices, and potential pitfalls that must be
on everyone's radar. If you're anxious about robots taking away
your job in the future, you will take comfort in the realistic
perspective, fact-based insights, and practical steps Schwartz
offers. If you're not sure where to even begin to prepare, follow
his level-headed advice and easy-to-follow action plans. If you're
a business leader caught between keeping up, while also being
thoughtful about the next moves, you will appreciate the playbook
directed at you. If you're wondering how Covid-19 will change how
and where you will work, Work Disrupted has you covered. Written in
a conversational style by Schwartz, with Suzanne Riss, an
award-winning journalist and book author, Work Disrupted offers a
welcome alternative to books on the topic that lack a broad
perspective or dwell on the problems rather than offer solutions.
Timely and insightful, the book includes the impact of Covid-19 on
our present and future work. Interviews with leading thinkers on
the future of work offer additional perspectives and
guidance.Cartoons created for the book by leading business
illustrator Tom Fishburne bring to life the reader's journey and
the complex issues surrounding the topic. Told from the perspective
of an economist, management advisor, and social commentator, Work
Disrupted offers hope--and practical advice--exploring such topics
as: How we frame what lies ahead is a critical navigational tool.
Discover the signposts that 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.
The importance of recognizing the rapidly evolving opportunities in
front of us. Learn how to build resilience--in careers,
organizations, and leaders--for what lies ahead. Why exploring new
mental models helps us discover the steps we need to take to
thrive. Individuals can decide how to protect their livelihood
while businesses and public institutions can consider how they can
lead and support workforces to thrive in twenty-first-century
careers and work. "Jeff's marvelous book is a roadmap for the new
world of work with clear signposts. His insights will help readers
discover opportunities, take action, and find hope in uncertain
times. The ideas are fresh, beautifully crafted, and immediately
applicable. This is not only a book to be read, but savored and
used." --Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor, Ross School of
Business, University of Michigan; Partner, the RBL Group; Co-author
