🚀 Redefining Work in a Hybrid Society – Technology, #Leadership, and the Future of Employment

The way we work is changing—fast. Traditional employment models are being challenged by fractional leadership, the gig #economy, and the rise of remote-first collaboration. But is this shift making work better, or just more fragmented?

In this latest episode of Redefining Society & Technology on ITSPmagazine, I sat down with Sara Daw, author of "Strategy and Leadership as a Service" to talk about how technology is reshaping the workforce.

We dive into:

💡 The rise of fractional C-suite roles and why executives are choosing autonomy over full-time positions
💡 How companies are shifting from payroll to access-based #employment
💡 The role of psychological ownership in a world where contracts no longer define commitment
💡 What this means for future generations, as they enter the workforce with an entirely different mindset

Technology enables this shift, but the real question is: Are we using it to empower people—or just creating a new kind of instability?

Great article on the dual nature of outsider #innovation and its implications.

“How can organizations remain open to the fresh perspectives that outsiders bring? The challenge lies not only in identifying original thinkers but also in empowering them - amplifying their voices, supporting their efforts, and fostering environments where atypical ideas can take root and thrive.”

It’s crucial to combine #constructivenonconformity #psychologicalsafety #DEIB
