Aus dem Klappentext

America was built on change. Throughout our history, we’ve been leaders, innovators, and creators―overcoming our fears to step into the new and stay at the forefront of developments in every area of life. As the pace of change increases, so do the challenges. Business leaders are facing greater hurdles to keeping up, but we have the courage we need to be up to the task. What we need now is a roadmap for conceptualizing the changes that are occurring on all sides of us and for embracing them as we move into the future. FLEX is that roadmap.

As the world of work transforms before our eyes―with the gig economy, increasing diversity, automation and AI, and new tech tools―leaders in organizations large and small have a tremendous opportunity. If we follow the guidelines in this book, we can position ourselves at the vanguard of the next decade, becoming the “disruptors” who will write the new rules. In FLEX: A Leader’s Guide to Staying Nimble and Mastering Transformative Change in the American Workplace, national labor and employment authority Rick Grimaldi shows how the best leaders of today and tomorrow are navigating the changing tides and walks readers through the process of joining their ranks.

Those who dare to ignore the trends reshaping our world do so at their own peril. We are in the midst of a transition to an era of constant change. Constant change requires constant adaptation. It isn’t as hard as it sounds to become nimble enough to weather this transformation―and to realize even greater success as a result. FLEX gives readers the insight and inspiration to embrace the new world of work.
