Google “the future of work” and you’ll find yourself sifting through a slew of articles discussing how organizations need to think about the evolution of the workplace in the coming years as it relates to the continuous changes in technology.
But there’s a glaring omission in the way organizations are thinking about the future: the human.
And by overlooking the humans in the workplace, we’re forgetting to think about the evolution of leadership. The biggest impact on employees is your organization’s leadership.
This is why we’re launching a movement focused on rethinking and reframing effective leadership for the human future of work.

-
Scaling Human Systems: Design principles like standardization of processes, strategic use of talent, and data-driven insights are essential for effective scaling.

Leading In The Flow Of Work: Leadership is a state, not a trait. We can access this state – the activation of our core energies – by pausing and preparing for our high-stakes moment.
-
Good Jobs & Employee Well Being: Rethinking traditional work structures and exploring alternatives like gig work and ecosystem designs can contribute to better job design.
-
Ownership Mindset: Organizations should democratize ownership by providing training, transparency about performance, and sharing gains.
Leaders Supporting the Movement

Our boundless curiosity and relentless pursuit of betterment have spurred the incredible advancements we see today. This should be a top priority because by cherishing and nurturing human potential, we not only fuel innovation but also cultivate a workplace that thrives on empathy, creativity, and collaboration. In envisioning the future of work, it’s essential to place humans at its heart.
Technology will continue to quickly advance, but it’s the unique capabilities and qualities of people that will drive innovation, creativity and problem solving. The human element of work is key. We need to focus on a culture that fosters collaboration, inclusivity and empathy which are essential qualities to solve the ever growing list of complex challenges.
With the pace of change in technology, especially in AI and generative AI, it is more important than ever to focus future of work on what’s uniquely human –creativity, ethical judgment, understanding of context as well as emotional and social needs. Working with technology, these uniquely human qualities will help us accelerate innovation and productivity and, at the same time, mitigate and manage unintended consequences and unforeseen risks.
