What has work been? What is work now? What could work look like? Control to Integration | Telling to Learning | Competing to Cooperating | Silos to Coalescence Every time I talk to Stelio Verzera - I feel energized, I learn something new, my mid opens to new ideas and challenges.

Stelio’s view of the world of work is expressed differently. He is not alone in looking at things from a systemic, ecoistic point of view, but the way he is bringing this into the world is unique.

This conversation takes us to many places – from anti-fragility to surfing emergence and rediscovering ourselves. We look at technology, polycentricity and sense-making. We talk about the future, how the world of work will move from control to integration, from telling to learning, from competing to cooperating, from silos to coalescence across boundaries.

Stelio Verzera is an Evolution Coach and the Co-Founder of Cocoon Pro.

Cocoon Pro Cocoon Pro is a last-generation company devoted to fostering real value creation in the world-wide work ecosystem. It’s been designed to be effective, emergent, open and adaptive in the journey of generating and scaling-up mastery.

I know a lot of people who had to #reskill and carve out new career pathways for themselves. It is very difficult! When the education is there, employers are not. When the employers are willing, governmental support is missing. We have tons of amazing free online education. But it is not recognized by businesses. There are incredible people who took the leap, learned something totally new. They need work experience to get started, but an internship is only for “fresh” graduates. And while we are complaining about talent shortages, we are not really willing to employ someone who has so drastically changed their career. Let someone else try first… Today’s podcast is about #reskilling, #education and #meaningfulcareers.

My guests are two amazing people who are passionate about changing the world of work. They provide education, identify career pathways and support the transition of those who are experiencing major career shifts: ➔Jamie Albers, the co-founder of Mento (https://www.mento.co/about) ➔David Timis, the Global Communications Leader at Generation (https://www.generation.org/)

To get in touch with them: - Jamie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiealbers/ - David: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtimis/

We will talk about: ➔ The impact this past one and a half year has had on the job market ➔ The harsh realities of career transitioning for the re-skilled ➔ Transforming education to allow for multiple and diverse pathways throughout our lives ➔ The 4Cs needed to succeed in the world of work

We have chosen HYBRID as the new way of work. HYBRID is challenging and faces the risk of inheriting the worst of the two worlds of work. HYBRID opens up concerns about Power - Fairness - Trust - Performance. Can we address them? Mark Mortensen (INSEAD) is joining me today, for a 2nd round of discussions, exactly 12 months after we have recorded together an episode of the Making Remote Work series. We go through the research that has been conducted this past year and talk about hybridity – power and fairness, trust, performance and adaptation. Most importantly, Mark will share his insights and tips so that the hybrid world we are walking towards will be successful for both individuals and organizations

For those who want to access Mark's latest publications: ➔ https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/are-your-team-members-lonely/ ➔ https://knowledge.insead.edu/leadership-organisations/teams-in-evolution-and-revolution-after-the-pandemic-15876 ➔ https://hbr.org/2021/02/making-the-hybrid-workplace-fair ➔ https://hbr.org/2021/02/wfh-is-corroding-our-trust-in-each-other

Mark Mortensen is an Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD. His area of expertise is organisational collaboration, with an emphasis on two increasingly prevalent ways of organising that do not fit traditional models of team dynamics: globally distributed (virtual) and project-based work.

Mark's research has been recognised by the academic community through awards including the William H. Newman Award, Organisational Behaviour Division Best Dissertation-Based Paper Award, and Runner-up OCIS Division Best Paper Award from the Academy of Management; and the Best Paper Award Finalist nomination by the Interdisciplinary Network of Groups Researchers.

Today we are looking through the lenses of sociology and psychology to answer two questions: 1. How can organizational culture act as a shock absorber & help companies rebound from adversities? 2. What makes individuals resilient? Together with Huggy Rao, Professor of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources at Stanford Graduate School of Business, we will: ✅ Discuss how "cultural protections" enable people and organizations respond to shocks ✅ Provide examples on how to activate the "best self" in each individual and how this will lead to increased resilience ✅ Emphasize the need to move from "a room called fear" to a "room called hope" for both individuals and organizations ✅ Moving away from Planning towards building the CARE-SHARE-DARE muscle in Organizations

🔷Professor Rao studies collective action within organizations and in markets. His research and by implication, his teaching, revolves around scaling up mobilization, innovation, and talent in organizations. 🔷His most recent book, co-authored with Bob Sutton of the School of Engineering at Stanford, is "Scaling Up Excellence". The book is a Wall Street Journal Bestseller and was included in the best business books to read in 2014 by Financial Times, Inc Magazine, Amazon, Forbes, Washington Post and the Library Journal. 🔷His research has been published in journals such as the Administrative Science Quarterly, American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science and Strategic Management Journal. He is also the author of “Market Rebels: How Activists Make or Break Radical Innovation”, Princeton University Press. 2009.

What happens when multiple shocks hit us? Have we reflected on 2020 and what have we learned? Have we identified the cracks in our systems? How can we enable ourselves to be better prepared for the next crisis? ⛳️Uncertainty and complexity are states of nature. ⛳️We will never have full knowledge. ⛳️There are no templates to tell us exactly what to do. ⛳️We will always make mistakes.

It is too late for me to change my career! Very few succeed in doing this. I could never do it! Indeed, few succeed because only a few try and put in the effort. Changing careers when we are 30-40-50 is not an easy responsibility. Mortgages, children, sick parents, economic uncertainty – will keep someone in a job even if it makes them feel miserable.

Adriana Kosovska, the founder of the Zero to Dream Job project, did not even know there is such a thing as “career coaching” when she switched careers. Now she helps people identify their calling so they can stop struggling with a job they do not love.

• Are you wondering what a Dream Job feels like?
• Should your passion become your career?
• How to best time your career change?
• Can you make the change successfully even at 40? How about 50?
• How do you navigate the uncertain waters and arrive at your desired destination?

We hope the conversation will ignite the desire for change in you. It is never too late to find your calling and do what you have always dreamt of!

I encourage you to get in touch with Adriana and find out more about the Zero to Dream Job project: - http://zerotodreamjob.com/ - https://www.linkedin.com/in/adriana-kosovska-people-manager-dream-job-coach-463b4253/

Getting noticed when we are working remotely is harder than in traditional set-ups. Research has shown that getting the "required" visibility can easily lead to burnout. Ioana Cristea has researched this topic in detail, and the findings are alarming! To make themselves visible, employees in distributed environments mainly revert to online meetings.

Their calendars are full to the point that one can wonder - When do they have time to eat? Do they have time for their families or some slack time for themselves? When does work get done?

In this episode, we discuss this "virtual rat race" and what can be done differently - at organizational and individual levels.

Ioana Cristea conducted this research over a period of 7 years. You can find the full research papers here: https://badm.au.dk/fileadmin/Business_Administration/PhD/Thesis_Ioana_Cristea.pdf. https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/orsc.2018.1265

covid19 #workpractices #workplace

COVID-19 has disrupted work and organizations across the globe. During the pandemic, 29 researchers from around the world have joined forces to review prior literature - rooted mainly in work and organizational psychology - and tried to make sense of the implications of Covid-19 for employees, teams, and organizations .(https://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2020-58612-001.pdf) They focused on: ✔️ emergent changes in work practices (e.g., working from home, virtual teamwork) ✔️ emergent changes for workers (e.g., social distancing, stress, and unemployment) ✔️ potential moderating factors (demographic characteristics, individual differences, and organizational norms) given the likelihood that COVID-19 will generate disparate effects.

This broad-scope overview provides an integrative approach for considering the implications of COVID-19 for work, workers, and organizations while also identifying issues for future research and insights to inform solutions.

In this episode, I am hosting Mark van Vugt, Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and Jay Narayanan, Associate Professor Management & Organizations at the National University of Singapore. We discussed: ✔️ the literature that was reviewed and the process ✔️ the intended audience of this review article ✔️ the lessons and warnings of the past ✔️ the main effects of the current Covid-19 pandemic on the workplace ✔️ the disproportionate impact this pandemic has on individuals ✔️ the key takeaways for organizations and employees ✔️ the unanswered questions that require further research ✔️ how organizations could support academia to conduct this research and bring back actionable insights

Working from space gives you a unique perspective on work, teams, leadership, and the future. In this episode of Making Remote Work, Luca Parmitano offers us a glimpse of how work is carried out remotely from space. We talk about communication, teamwork, leadership, autonomy, confinement, the opportunities that remote work could bring in the future. Luca Parmitano is an Italian engineer and astronaut in the European Astronaut Corps for the European Space Agency (ESA). He was selected as an ESA astronaut in May 2009.

In February 2011, Luca was assigned as a flight engineer to Italian space agency ASI's first long-duration mission on the International Space Station. Luca spent 166 days in space, personally conducting over 20 experiments, and took part in two spacewalks and the docking of four spacecraft during his ‘Volare’ mission. He landed safely back on Earth on 11 November 2013.

Luca was launched to the International Space Station for his second mission on 20 July 2019 – the 50th anniversary of the first human lunar landing – and returned 6 February 2020. His 201-day mission saw him take on the role of Space Station commander for Expedition 61 – becoming the third European and first-ever Italian International Space Station commander. During Beyond, Luca supported more than 50 European experiments and 200 international experiments in space. Other highlights including performing the first ‘live DJ session’ in Earth orbit, addressing world leaders at the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP 25, and talking to Nobel Laureates about exoplanets and the chemistry of batteries.

In this episode, we discuss remote from a different angle. We start with eSports and the learnings on remote from this newly booming industry. We then take a turn and discuss organizational design - hierarchies, agility, routines, change management, and designing employee interactions that lead to productivity and wellbeing when remote. Julien Clement (Assistant Professor - Stanford University) studies organization design and its impact on collaboration within and across organizations. He is generally interested in understanding the link between formal organizational structure and informal social relationships: how does an organization’s structure affect how its members form relationships and develop routines? How can it help them adapt these routines when environmental demands change? And when can organizations thrive without any formal structure? Julien investigates these issues through a ‘micro-analytic’ approach: rather than study organizations as broad aggregates, he starts by observing social interactions among individuals and tries to understand how organizational structure enables these interactions to aggregate into organizational outcomes. His work has relied on a variety of analytical methods (network analysis, agent-based models, big-data analytics) applied in a variety of contexts including the television game-show industry, professional videogaming (e-Sports) and mobile healthcare in Africa. Most recently, Julien started studying how the deployment of artificial intelligence inside organizations may affect collaboration and learning among their members.

How can we define a modern team? What makes them effective? How should we manage remote teams? Can they be as productive as a collocated team? How about managing multiple distributed teams? How can we best solve remote conflicts? Join Mark Mortensen and me as we connect research with practice and provide answers to these burning questions. Mark Mortensen is an Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD. He is co-directing the Emerging Leaders in a Digital Age program. His area of expertise is organizational collaboration, with an emphasis on two increasingly prevalent ways of organizing that do not fit traditional models of team dynamics: globally distributed (virtual) and project-based work. In his research, he has investigated the nature of conflict in distributed collaborations and its relationship to identity, context, and communication; the impact of dispersion structure – in the form of balance, imbalance, and isolation – on collaboration dynamics; and the effects of first-hand experience – gained through site visits and expatriate assignments – on trust. He has also explored the interpersonal effects of working in multiple, partially-overlapping, fluidly-shifting projects, developing a fundamentally new model of collaboration.

I am always amazed at what we can do if we put our minds to it. Anjuli stared in music, as an opera singer and performer and she loved what she was doing, but she always dreamt of making a bigger impact - and for her, this meant joining the business world. She had to learn everything from scratch. Her recommendations for anyone making such a huge change: learn how to breathe and give yourself a moment when things become very difficult, find a support network, stay open and absorb knowledge and feedback from your surroundings. Most importantly - trust yourself, keep moving forward, and go all in!

I have been asked to have more discussions on change and change agility as one of the essential skills in the future of work. As I wondered who could best talk about self-transformation and re-invention, I decided that the most fit will be people who are going through change as we speak, or people who have gone through it and were successful or have failed. My hope is that these discussions will motivate you to forge your own, unique journey, no matter the difficulty. The difference should be that you will know first-hand what to expect and will have higher chances of success because you can prepare. My first guest on Skills for Mars Transitions – is Kate. Kate is a speech pathologist who has experienced change throughout her life. We will discuss about adapting to new environments, new languages, new cultures and careers, about finding meaning in what you are doing and believing in yourself throughout the change journey.
