  • S1E11 | Lisa Walden - The Future of Work is NOW!
    Jul 25 2024

    “These kids today don’t want to work!” is a sentiment that’s been prevalent in American society since at least 1894, according to research cited by Lisa Walden, co-founder of Good Company Consulting, in her discussion with October Research Chief Knowledge Officer Mary Schuster. Listen as they explore the concept of the “Great Chasm” in the evolving workplace, which refers to the growing disconnect between what leaders and owners think, want, and see, and what individual contributors think, want, and see. Walden and Schuster also examine the effectiveness of flexible and hybrid work arrangements, and look at the clash points between different generations in the workplace from a historical point of view. You can find Walden’s book, “The Future of Work is Human: Transforming Company Culture for a Post-Pandemic World,” at this link.
