In today’s show, I welcome Lynda Gratton, London Business School professor and author of several books, including her most recent, Redesigning Work: How to Transform Your Organisation and Make Hybrid Work for Everyone.
Lynda is one of the world’s most well-respected thought leaders on the future of work and has been named by Business Thinkers 50 as one of its’ top 15 business thinkers. She has a column for MIT Sloan and writes regularly for Harvard Business Review. Her ten books, including The 100-Year Life, have sold over a million copies globally. She serves as a Fellow of the World Economic Forum and is on the advisory board of several top global companies.
In short, she knows what she’s talking about, and we had a fascinating conversation covering a range of topics related to the future of work, including:
- How Covid shifted the dynamic from employers to employee driving change in the workplace
- The importance of networks to our identity and careers
- Why we need to take an ‘And/And’ rather ‘And/Or’ approach to work design
- Synchronous and asynchronous communications
- The skills required to thrive in the emerging world of work
- Why it’s so important to nurture creativity in our work and in orgs
- Why we’re now living multi-stage lives and what that means to our careers
