WORKPLACE
What The Pandemic Taught Us About Change | Josh Bersin
This thought-provoking research and assessment of workplace culture and change is vital to your future. You don’t have to be a leader to ponder and apply these.
“Change Agility is not just about training and communications. It’s about human-centered leadership, building a strong culture of purpose, taking care of your people, and creating a design discipline of “micro-nudges” and stories that bring people to the new world.”
– Josh Bersin
