This is Part 3 of our first webinar series with Supply Chain Brief where discuss unlocking and empowering the value of "us", of humans in the future of work in Supply Chain 5.0.
Episode 10 is packed with insights starting with FOUR themes around leadership. We discuss the ‘new headspace’, embracing global stewardship and value creation, the new M.O. needed for new school leadership, and using digital an as equalizer to distribute leadership in networks. New diversity and new impacts are discussed...sensitive topics front of mind for all workforce generations and rebels.
Provocative PoVs uncovered include: the rise of social media in leadership when influencing digital natives and the shift where employees are viewed as trusted stewards (this is akin to we hire adults, then we get out of their way and treat them like adults). We dive into the theme of structuring an organization for success and the shift to ‘platform orgs’...why building a learning organization is critical to culture, speed to value and agility in the future of work. Lastly, we talk diversity & inclusion, this means diversity of thought and people who stand up your organization and flipping ageism on its side as an input for kick-ass design thinking!
