Office Shock: Why We Need Future-Ready Leaders

As companies and workers continue to adjust to constantly changing workplace environments and cultures, there remain many questions about what it means to “return to work,” what the future holds for in-person, remote, and hybrid work, and how that will impact the way people relate to their work.

In this episode, Bob Johansen, Joseph Press, and Christine Bullen join the show to talk about their brand new book, Office Shock, which aims to paint a vivid picture of the future of work, and equip workers and businesses with the tools and mindset they need to be successful moving forward. In their book, they describe “Office Shock” as an “abrupt, unsettling change in where, how, when, and even why we work.” 

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why organizations and workers need to be “Future-Ready”
• “The Seven Spectrums” that guide our decision-making about our work and home life
• The concept of the “Officeverse” and how it relates to the Metaverse
• How to think “Present-Forward” while properly weighing the next 10 years and the previous 50 years.
