Experts offer strategies for managing people in technocentric
times. In these technocentric times, it is more important than ever
to manage people well. Companies-employees and managers-may feel
overwhelmed by the never-ending disruptions caused by new
technologies. This volume in the Digital Future of Management
series shows why we should step back, take stock, and seize just a
bit more control over how our world is evolving. In Why Humans
Matter More Than Ever, management experts from both industry and
academia offer strategies for managing people in our brave new
digital world. The contributors explain how new technologies, even
the most sophisticated artificial intelligence agents, depend on
human collaboration. Companies need to develop rules, principles,
and clear ethical guidelines that structure smart object-human
interactions. Moreover, in a world filled with technology
distractions, we must learn to how to manage our most valuable
personal resource: our attention. Leaders need to step up to
prepare their organizations for the evolution of work, showing them
how to adapt, be more collaborative, and learn new skills. As
virtual collaborations take place across professions, locations,
and industries, we must adopt the best practices in virtual
communication. Finally, going beyond empathy and curiosity, leaders
should be self-aware enough to remind themselves of what they may
be missing-even the best managers don't know everything.
