Description

Whether we are ready for it or not, the future of business is here. It’s a future in which organizations must learn how to move faster, flatten their hierarchies, share more openly, and operate more digitally. And although many of these changes are a direct result of the Millennial generation shaking up today’s workplaces, it’s much bigger than that. This new era goes beyond generations–and requires leaders from every generation to learn new ways of working, leading, and managing.
