For my end of year retreat, I’ll be reading Leading in a Non-Linear World, by Jean Gomes.
This book poses some of the questions that will become increasingly important in the years ahead. Here are a few of them:
- “Can we keep working longer and more continuously?”
- “How will artificial intelligence (AI) or automation change career paths?”
- “How will a workforce of four very different generations, skill sets, and values synergise, and what does that mean for the future?”
- “What if decade-old assumptions about the sustainability of our global economic system no longer hold true?”
There are no easy answers to these questions, and a lot will have to do with how we lead. First, how we lead ourselves – for example, what conscious efforts we make in cultivating a mindset that would be of much benefit to us. Also, how we lead our organisations and our communities.
Looking forward to reading this book.
