Recommendation

Charles Grantham’s book examines rapid changes in the workplace in response to new technologies. He looks at how these changes affect all of us personally and explains how to prepare for the future. The book’s language is quite academic. The average reader could find it difficult to read from beginning to end. Regular readers of business books, on the other hand, may find that many of the ideas sound familiar. This is because Grantham references more than 125 previously published works. getAbstract recommends this book to futurists and trend-watchers, particularly those from a more academic background.

Take-Aways

  • We are about to enter the era of crisis. In the next few years a major event will cause a sudden shift in the way we view the world and each other.
  • Teamwork is important in the new world of work.
  • Becoming your own gyroscope is an internal guidance system for an effective transformation to the new world.
