Description
Humanity is currently going through one of the toughest moments in our history. The scale and magnitude of the current pandemic are nearly inconceivable in all realms of life-economically, socially, and politically. Our anxiety and distress are compounded by a sharp economic downturn and an unprecedented spike in job losses, the mounting US-China trade war, and increasing tensions and natural disasters worldwide. On top of these challenges is the profound upheaval resulting from technological advancement, shifts in the nature of jobs and governance, and transformations in our perceptions of space, time, and identity. The era of change is only just beginning. Amid all these uncertainties, the ten contributors in this volume share the latest tools for navigating our rapidly evolving professional environments, the mindsets we need in order to become truly future-ready, and the skill-sets and policies that will help us stay relevant today and tomorrow. Through their unflinching analyses of working life in our present and future, this book aims to spur our readers to engage in real action and do what is most effective is the coming days and months. The authors also hope to call forth hope and inspiration, leaving our readers moved and ready to seize the initiative and improve our world.
