The nice people at THINK, which is LBS’ thought leadership journal, asked me why I decided to write a book about leadership in a hybrid world. Well the book could not be clearer. Now, more than ever, organisations need leaders who can connect, cohere and engage talented people. Three things have happened pretty much all at once and leaders need to frame some response to them all.

1. Leading has changed. Managers are now expected to be expert “hybrid” leaders, and it is a complicated, demanding and uncharted remit.

2. Working has changed. Work is increasingly a ‘slog’, fun is in short supply, and the benefits of hard work have never been less certain.

3. Workers have changed. Organisations are composed of different generations with differing outlooks, values and needs, who are too often working apart from one another.

A long form article from LBS THINK (best accompanied with a good cup of tea) is shared below.
