It’s time to reimagine collaboration
Work has changed and collaboration needs a radical reboot. We must move away from the old efficiency-based model and toward a new social and community-centric way of working.
The organizations that will thrive are those that align people around a common purpose and provide clarity on how individual efforts contribute. The new era of work demands a new model of leadership that values collaboration and inclusion at every level.
