"Use a compass not a map"
What challenges will tomorrow's workers face in a world of global competition? What traits are necessary not only to survive but to succeed as a leader? Companies already started to define their strategy to be either international, global or transnational. Despite of how you name the game, it is all about connecting people.
In the interview with IM-BOOT (INSME's partner) Shapiro was drawing the scetch of a "'passion-guided' worker", who uses a compass instead of a map in order to find his (or her) direction.
Read more about his answers to the questions of IM-BOOT's editor about future work and how his passion-guided worker will cope with risk, uncertainty, change and rules in our complex world.
