S3 Episode 6: Steve Cadigan on embracing the aftershocks of COVID-19 to create a better model of working

On this episode of the Actionable Futurist® podcast, we spoke with Steve Cadigan who has been at the forefront of global talent strategy and company culture for the past 30 years. 

He is most famous for scaling Linkedin from 400 to 4,000 in just 3 and a half years.

Steve also led the development of LinkedIn’s legendary company culture and was at the helm of the Talent function for its period of the highest growth and through their IPO.

He’s worked in 5 different industries and 3 different countries, and his focus today is to help leaders and organizations build winning talent solutions to compete in an increasingly complex digital economy.

Steve has just released his new book: “Workquake: Embracing the aftershocks of Covid-19 to create a better model of working”.
