That we love exploring different aspects of The Future of Work is not a secret. We do that in all different kind of ways. By organizing Meetups ( in The Netherlands), by helping clients find new ways to organize themselves, and by reading articles on this topic. But also by listening to the latest episodes of our favourite podcasts. In this post, we share our favourite podcasts on the Future of Work, including our favourite episodes.
Leadermorphosis
Let’s start with the podcast of Lisa Gill, called Leadermorphosis, not in the last place because she interviewed me for an episode as well. Leadermorphosis is a podcast exploring the emerging world of self-management and progressive organizations. Each episode features a guest thought leader or practitioner offering a unique perspective on new and innovative ways of working.
This episode, where Lisa is interviewing Gary Hamel is one of my favourites. Gary Hamel is one of the world’s leading business thinkers, Professor at London Business School and director of The Management Lab. In this conversation, they talk about how we can bust bureaucracy for good, make our organizations more experimental, and reinvent what it means to be a leader.
