A monster wave of change has set off a vast reckoning with our taken-for-granted beliefs about every aspect of how and where work gets done.

Polly LaBarre takes leaders on a journey across this new landscape—inspiring them with fresh thinking on the work of leadership and equipping them with powerful new approaches for this new work order, including:
