Adapting to the future
November 11, 2009 | Posted by JO “Throw away the briefcase: you’re not going to the office. You can kiss your benefits goodbye too. And your new boss won’t look much like your old one. There’s no ladder…but there’s a world of opportunity if you figure out a new path.”
-From May 25th Cover of Time Magazine “The Future of Work” article.
Time does a good job of capturing the sea change moment we find ourselves in their “Future of Work” cover story. In the article the highlight ten lessons that we should walk away with which will presumably help us navigate the course ahead and be more successful. While the article is great, informative and occasionally offers some fresh insight, I believe Daniel Pink and his book, A Whole New Mind, actually does a better job at giving us a distinctive and creative way to look at the skills we should be developing for the next ten or twenty years.
A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future
In his visionary way, Daniel lays the framework for why the workplace we know is shifting right under our feet and how it will look in the future. He also is specific about what we should do to survive it.
Daniel’s book has made such a profound impact on me that I have published an article that offers some key takeaways from his book. You can find it here.
