With the infusion of rapidly changing technology available to help us produce \u201cwork\u201d, the workplace and the way we work are evolving rapidly. The pandemic simply accelerated the adoption of the tools that were already available. I was an early adopter of \u201cZoom calls\u201d, but many of you were forced to adapt to this new way of meeting and interacting during the pandemic. This is one example of how technology has changed the way we work.<\/p>\n
Technology is simply an enabling factor for those of us who wish to change the \u201cway we work\u201d. It is forcing leaders and entrepreneurs to reevaluate the need for an established office space and even more traditional office hours.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Accenture<\/span>\u00a0Future of Work Study 2021<\/i>\u00a0found that*:<\/b><\/p>\n The World Economic Forum even highlighted the impact of technology on work in 2016 \u2013 calling it the \u201cFourth Industrial Revolution\u201d*. However, this so-called \u201cIndustrial Revolution\u201d is happening within the ranks of white-collar workers who are refusing to go back to the work scenario of the past.<\/p>\n *Cited in Fortune Magazine coverage of\u00a0Welcome to the Flexetariat Revolution<\/i>\u00a0by Julia Hobsbawm<\/p>\n In the past, many closely linked performance with visibility. \u201cIf I could see you, I perceived you as a more capable performer\u201d turned out to be a frequent performance indicator. However, with many working remotely, the work must speak for itself in many respects. Is that person delivering on the outcomes outlined for their role? Are they collaborative? Do they think strategically? Can they work well without daily visual and verbal direction?<\/p>\n As leaders, we are called upon to shift our perspective on performance, employee development, leadership, and reward systems. Have you made the shift to motivate and reward your employees within this new paradigm?<\/p>\n Let\u2019s face it \u2013 you wouldn\u2019t be where you are if you were not an effective leader. However, we can probably tweak some things to get you more comfortable leading in this new environment. It\u2019s not going away, so let\u2019s embrace it and learn to be more effective.
