“Work is essential for human beings to flourish,” writes Ellen Rupell Shell in her New York Times bestselling book, “The Job: Work And It’s Future In A Time Of Radical Change.” But at a time when McKinsey believes one-third of all blue and white-collar jobs will be gone in the next 20 years, public policy isn’t yet oriented toward ensuring that everyone who wants to continue working will remain able to support themselves and their families.

So what course corrections do we need to make? How can we sustain our own career viability in light of unparalleled technological change? What skills will emerge as most essential in the new economy? Can there really be a happy ending?

These are critically important questions we all need to be asking – and tied to Shell’s eight years of broad and deep research, she’s able to provide many unexpected yet insightful answers. Not just intended for leaders and managers, this is a podcast that holds great benefits for us all.
