The world is entering into a talent migration that's bigger than anything we've seen before. We call it the #GreatReshuffle, an unprecedented moment in the history of work where all of us are rethinking not just how we work, but why we work. To me, this is a great thing. More people will be doing work they love at companies they feel passionate about, leading to greater success for organizations who engage their employees with empathy and trust. To everyone on LinkedIn who has been sharing their thoughts about the #GreatReshuffle and #NewWorldOfWork - thank you for making the conversation so insightful. I will be sharing more thoughts in the weeks to come and hope to engage all of you as we navigate the new world of work together.
Move forward with timely thinking and consciousness.Moving forward is not just moving forward, looking back, but the reality is that for some services, the whole society looks differently. Move forward, break barriers and conquer the whole world as your own.
Your vision of a utopian world where work consumes only enough hours a day of time so as to be in balance with the myriad of our other needs is so very inviting. Admittedly I'm skeptical having worked in health care in the 70s. For those of us who entered the workforce during the baby boomer years, you'll recall the mixed ideologies we faced. One view was that of the work world being hyper-competitive given there were so many of us. This reality meant we had to earn higher degrees rapidly only to obtain a job requiring us to work a minimum of 60+ hours a week. The goal of having a work-life balance was but a dream. The competing view came from the counterculture movement of the 70s—espousing peace, love, and a kinder society where there was no war or racism. These 2 views were so polarized that neither could succeed. Like any societal trend, they exist as a polarity wherein only the midpoint is viable. History supports this pattern of polar ideologies. Let's embrace the utopian society promised by #TheGreatReshuffle until such time that it is devalued, possibly replaced by the adoption of a dystopian ideology. I beseech the present workforce to protect the gains you make during #The Great Reshuffle.
Ryan Roslansky ON POINT... #greatreshuffle will be opening greater opportunity to the wider talents globally with NO biasness in gender, looks, background and power. Truely a move that can only a genuine and compasionate Leader can derive and embrace. Appreciation for work flexibility ie WFH and working remotely means alot esspecially for those of us who have dependents (family, parents, kids) and talented beautifull souls with dissabilities. Thank you again for opening up such an opportunity.

We are transforming from Adaptive Workers in a Job to Conscious Creators with a Purpose. Our real work is to now evolve the consciousness to enable each of us to become who we know we are are. 🙏🏻😇

Interesting - With this great reshuffle it is probably time for everyone to take stock of what they want to do AND their skill gaps

Heartily appreciated for sharing your great thoughts!
It is not just a Great Reshuffle. Perhaps you need to study market trends of GenZ professionals to understand this better Ryan. https://offthegridxp.substack.com/p/genz-will-decide-the-future-of-work I don't appreciate Microsoft trying to reframe a narrative to suit their business model. Rather I would prefer we go on facts and what the market is actually telling us.

2yThere is no doubt that current management techniques must change, but I am truly concerned that thinking a different job will somehow fix someone’s life will fail to produce the hoped-for results. For the last 80 years, each generation has had more anxiety, stress, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, divorce, and suicide than the previous one. The quality of our personal lives has been decreasing steadily because our life skills are deteriorating, and our values are now more external than internal. The skills we are using to manage our emotions, make our choices, and manage our negative emotions are ones we learned as toddlers. Technology has accomplished some wonderful things, but it has added a whole new set of problems, and society has not yet figured out how to deal with them. It doesn’t matter if it is a workout at the gym, going for a run, a cell phone, social media, music, Pinterest, or podcasts, we are turning more and more to something other than each other. We are losing the ability to communicate and connect to each other in a deep, meaningful, and lasting way. The only solution that can change the current trajectory is to upgrade those foundation life skills.
