Looking In: The future of work
FUTURE OF WORK
It may be obvious by now that I have a fondness for HBR. Also I am fascinated - and was too pre-COVID - about the future of work. This article about building a compassionate email culture leans into both and it offers a glimpse at work trends we are likely to see emerge. These include (spoiler) expectations around mental health support FYI. Meanwhile, this podcast interview with famed marketing professor Scott Galloway (ex L2 Inc) gives insightful perspectives on how/where/why we will be 'coming back to the office'. I highly encourage a listen. Merging both subjects (work + Scott Galloway), it's good to note he just raised 30M for his online school, Section4.
