Wall Street Journal Publishers Weekly and USA Today Bestseller Unlock the power of flexible
work with this practical how-to guide from the leadership of Slack and Future Forum The way we
work has changed. The era of toiling from nine-to-five five-days-a-week in the office is now a
relic of the past and is being replaced by a better way--flexible work. But flexibility means
a lot more than a day or two a week to work from home: 93% of your employees want more
flexibility in when not just where they work. They want choice and they are leaving their
roles to find it. The most successful leaders will go much further than offering occasional
remote workdays--they will redesign every aspect of how work gets done from defining how they
measure organizational success to training their managers to make it happen. How the Future
Works: Leading Flexible Teams to Do The Best Work of Their Lives offers a blueprint for using
flexible work to unlock the potential of your people. The book offers the steps necessary to
building the new principles and guardrails to empower flexible high-performing teams. And it
teaches readers to lead with purpose to manage and measure differently and to believe that by
letting go they'll get more back than they thought possible. How the Future Works explains how
to: * Establish leadership principles commitments and outcomes for truly flexible teamwork *
Measure and assess productivity in a flexible workplace * Reskill managers to ensure a level
playing field for all employees * Implement the infrastructure necessary to make flexible work
successful Using original research from Future Forum a consortium by Slack and global case
studies from leading companies such as Levi Strauss & Co. Genentech Royal Bank of Canada and
IBM How the Future Works offers concrete solutions and practical steps for building high
functioning teams of talented engaged people by providing them with the flexibility and choice
they need to do their best work.
