EMPLOYMENT IS DEAD – Harvard Business Review Press
The fundamental structure of work is in desperate need of a new vessel for productivity and fulfillment. Employees will find new ways to earn a living that break the mold of traditional employment that offers greater ownership, flexibility, and agency over their working lives.
EMPLOYMENT IS DEAD explores the mindset shift necessary to thrive in the future of work, provides reasons why employees will eventually abandon traditional employment for the bounty of web3, and outlines practical AI strategies that digital-first leaders can start implementing today to take advantage of this vast new world of endless possibilities.
