A WALL STREET JOURNAL BUSINESS BESTSELLER
The future of work is already here, and what this future looks like must
be a pressing concern for the current generation of leaders in both the
private and public sectors. In the next ten to fifteen years, rapid
change in a post-pandemic world and emerging technology will
revolutionize nearly every job, eliminate some, and create new forms of
work that we have yet to imagine. How can we survive and thrive in the
face of such drastic change?
Deanna Mulligan offers a practical, broad-minded look at the effects of
workplace evolution and automation and why the private sector needs to
lead the charge in shaping a values-based response. With a focus on the
power of education, Mulligan proposes that the solutions to workforce
upheaval lie in reskilling and retraining for individuals and companies
adapting to rapid change. By creating lifelong learning opportunities
that break down boundaries between the classroom and the workplace,
businesses can foster personal and career well-being and growth for
their employees. Drawing on her own experiences, historical examples,
and reports from the frontiers where these issues are unfolding,
Mulligan details how business leaders can prepare for and respond to
technological disruption. Providing a framework for concrete and
meaningful action, Hire Purpose is an essential read about the
transformations that will shape the next decade and beyond.
