The work, workers, and workplace of the future will continue to undergo dramatic transformation. So said Shirley Davis, CEO of SDS Global Enterprises Inc. on Tuesday at the 2020 CREW Network Conference: A Virtual Experience.
According to Davis, research suggests that by 2030 workers will be both older and younger at the same time, more educated and less skilled, hyper-connected through new technologies, and more ethnically diverse. So what new leadership models will be needed? Davis says that inclusiveness is key to achieve high performance and innovation.
"There are globally changing demographics that are impacting the workplace culture" Davis said. "If you look around, you are seeing different realities and in this time, we have had to make shifts on everything. We are living in a world of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity and are dealing with the realities of having to continue to rescale and upscale and at the end of the day, it means you can't be the same as a year ago."
