Episode description
Today’s guest is Andrew, Associate Editor and Management Editor of the Financial Times. As well as writing the FT’s weekly column on management, Andrew is a previous winner of Business Commentator of the year and the Decade of Excellence award for sustained achievement in business and financial journalism. Most relevantly to you perhaps, he’s one of the writers I’ve referenced most in my weekly news digest in the Future Work/Life newsletter.
We discussed hybrid work and the future of workplace culture, and as the role of managers changes, we explore what skills will be necessary for the future. We also dig into whether we should be aspiring for happiness in our work, and somehow I end up comparing one stage of the flow state cycle to the importance of resting meat—apologies to any vegetarians out there. Lastly, I pick Andrew’s brains about what makes a good business book.
This is the final episode of this sixth series of the Future Work/Life podcast and what a great one it’s been. Thanks as ever for listening and a big thanks to Andrew for his time. I really enjoyed our chat and I’m sure you will too.
I'll be back with Season 7 in April, so make sure you subscribe to receive all future episodes in your podcast player of choice.
Thanks,
Ollie
