"For too long, management practices have been stuck in a twentieth-century model where workers largely report to an office every day and stay with one company for decades. But businesses no longer operate this way, and leadership needs to catch up with twenty-first-century realities and prepare for the rapidly changing nature of when, where, and how work gets done. In Humanity Works, Alexandra Levit does a phenomenal job of combining future-of-work theory, research, and real-world examples to provide managers and leaders with the information and tools they need to prepare successful twenty-first-century teams."
