Thanks to carinsurance.org for this work and to Allison M. for bringing it to my attention :)
Work in the future
A few headlines
- We’ve been describing work as a place we go to for hundreds of years
- We are still «going to work» today but times are changing
- Work won’t be a single location anymore
- Work will be tasks to be accomplished
- People will be working apart — together
- Control will be replaced by a culture of trust
If these sound interesting, you should read The remote manager’s toolkit.
