ClearMind Lesson 2: The New World of Work
We are witnesses to one of the greatest shifts in human history.
Peter Drucker, one of the great management thinkers of our time, puts it this way.
“…the most important advancement of our time is not technology, not the Internet, not e-commerce. It is an unprecedented change in the human condition. For the first time in our history, a substantial number of workers will make independent, consequential choices. For the first time, they will manage and direct themselves. And society is totally unprepared for it.”
Our tools and training have not kept pace with the dramatic changes in this new and different world of work. The most valuable assets of a 20th-century company were its production equipment. The most valuable assets of a 21st-century organization will be its knowledge workers and their productivity.
In other words, working means thinking. More now than at anytime in human history it is the quality and clarity of our thinking that determines the direction and quality of our work.
Paradoxically, it is just at this time, when clear thinking is most needed, that we are bombarded by more distractions, more information, and more mental chatter than ever before. The one resource we need most to succeed, a clear, focused mind, seems to be the most difficult to get.
As someone who has sought out this program, I assume you have already begun to adjust to this “new and different” world of work. What an exciting time!
Through this ClearMind Program you will focus and clear your mind; allowing you to embrace and enjoy the new opportunities that change brings.
“We have more information now than we can use, and less knowledge and understanding than we need. The true measure of any society is not what it knows but what it does with what it knows.”
