‘“Future Work” sounds seductive. But very few organizations have actually changed the way they really do work. Maitland and Thomson have painted a comprehensive and compelling picture of what is possible, going way beyond the typical hype about technology and GenY. And they have dug deeply to report many very human stories about how the future of work is happening today, and what it takes to transform the workplace. If you read this book and then put it aside without changing the way you manage, you will wind up watching the future of work from the sidelines.’ – James P. Ware, Executive Director, The Future of Work...unlimited ‘Future Work provides an invaluable guide to the kind of transformational leadership that will be necessary to make the best of all that this new world of work has to offer.’ – Dave Coplin, Chief Envisioning Officer, Microsoft UK ‘Future Work lays out a compelling business case for flexibility that offers essential guidance for leaders grappling with a changing workforce, globalization and continuous advances in technology. The authors challenge conventional attitudes with a powerful rationale on how work can be accomplished with more precision and efficiency, while simultaneously reducing costs and offering employees more control over how they work.’ – Michel Landel, CEO, Sodexo ‘Future Work is empowerment in practice!’ – Nuria Chinchilla, Professor of Managing People in Organizations, IESE Business School ‘The world of work is changing rapidly and the office is undergoing a radical redesign to accommodate twenty-first century work practices. This book captures these critical changes and identifies the leadership culture required to support them. It should be read by all managers who are striving to get the best results from their workforce.’ – Professor Ginny Gibson, Deputy Dean, Henley Business School ‘Future Work provides timely insight on the kind of culture organizations need to meet the expectations of today’s workforce. It will be useful for executives who want to learn how business must adapt to the revolution
