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.’

Recruitthebest Daily Digest- Living Your Reality

If you don’t like your reality, don’t talk about it, do something about it. Because you created it. And you are the only one who can change it.

Be curious. Because ‘curiosity leads to adaptive responses. Certainty leads to death sentences- at least this is true for every other life form on this planet.’

Don’t do it alone. ‘When fearful people bond together, all the ingredients for strong community are present: a shared world view, a desire to support one another, a clear lens for interpreting information, and a collective self-image that they’re engaged in important work.’

‘There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.’

‘Nothing living lives alone and when we are in genuine relationships, an abundance of creativity and caring gives us the very capacities we need to solve our toughest problems together.’

‘We need to be in the world but not of it. We need to create places at work and in our communities that protect people from the destructive dynamics of this culture and reawaken their human spirits.’

‘We need leaders who recognize the harm being done to people and planet through the dominant practices that control, ignore, abuse, and oppress the human spirit. We need leaders who put service over self, stand steadfast in crises and failures, and who display unshakable faith that people can be generous, creative, and kind.’

‘Is your work still meaningful?’
