The M-Shift: Moving Management from Analog to Digital to Pivotal
For future focused organizations to succeed in the new world of work a bold approach to management is needed. An approach where freedom, trust, and experimentation are not only embraced but encouraged. Unfortunately while our advancement in technology has equipped us to navigate the disruptive waters of change, our management models have not. Today, many of our organizations still operating from a 19th Century industrial age management model that undervalues unconventional thinking, discourages full transparency, deters initiative, frustrates experimentation, and allows people to play small. In this program, Seth will provide a road map for anticipating the management challenges that will demand fundamentally new thinking; successfully challenge obsolete management models that limit success and help leaders build tomorrow’s best practices today.
