This Is The Future Of Work

‘While portions of many jobs will change, and some jobs will likely be eliminated entirely, many more jobs will evolve.‘

‘The challenge we face when working wih technology is to use it to augment workers, not replace them. Although replacement can create greater efficiency and cost savings, it does not create new value.’

‘The top three skills needed to survive in the future of work are complex problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity, according to the World Economic Forum.’

‘If there is no organization or structure that holds people, it creates pressures that can be very different for an individual to face alone.’

‘As work becomes more borderless, with more collaboration happening virtually, where work gets done will continue to change, too.’

‘The solo effect occurs when different departments or teams within an organization fail to communicate, and undermine productivity as a result. Two departments could be working on the same initiative, or at cross purposes, without knowing it.’

‘Doing more of the same, and doing it faster, is not where the magic happens- the magic is when workers and teams can solve new problems and create new value, services, and relationships.’

‘Business leaders face critical choices that will determine whether their workers are marginalized or empowered, and creating value or merely cutting costs.’

‘Transition nets are designed to help develop careers in the flow of life … They reflect the challenges of lives that include a dozen jobs, and that are not static or predictable.’

‘The social … imperative we are face to invest in education and transitions will allow us to build a more productive economy and a fair society.’

Lead From Your Heart

‘Love can reveal itself in the simplest of ways– by giving someone hope or telling a person that he or she is important.’

‘Humility begins and ends with four magical words: It’s not about you. It isn’t about deflecting compliments or projecting false modesty- it’s about demonstrating that whom you love, whom you care about, and whom you lead is more important than what you accomplish.’

‘When strong leaders embrace human dignity and care enough about whom they lead, they truly make their people partners in the organization’s pursuit of success.’

‘Whatever your job, title, or role, a passionate belief in what you do is often the difference between success and failure.’

‘Self-serving leaders value personal goals and agendas over the needs of the team. Heart-led leaders think in the ‘we’, while self-serving leaders are all about the ‘me.”

‘When people respect a leader– the person, not the position- they enthusiastically follow- at home, at work, in your community, even on the golf course!’

‘Heart-led leaders have the self-awareness to understand who they are and what’s important to them. They can step outside of themselves, giving themselves the ability not to see their own strengths and weaknesses but also to make decisions about how best to live their lives and serve those around them.’

‘When you choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong– even when no one is looking- you are truly leading with your heart.’

‘Heart-led leaders understand that transparency is the fastest way to foster trust, build teams, and grow relationships.’

‘Harboring ill will or negative feelings toward someone not only clouds our memory but also crowds our heart. The only way to make room for love, empathy, and compassion is to push hate and resentment out.’

‘Empathy makes an act of kindness more than a transition.’

‘Nothing better reveals who you are more than how you give to others.’
