With so much change in the workplace, it is worth taking a step back and looking at the larger trends shaping our working experience. Like the fact that many people are looking for jobs at organizations that didn't exist a few years ago. And they might not even live in the same time zone. And that's not really too much of a problem anymore.

Best-selling author, podcast host, and Workhuman® Live keynote speaker Malcolm Gladwell joins Stacy Thompson and the How We Work podcast to discuss the macro factors shaping work now and in the future. He also discusses what he has learned as the leader of a team and how to find what works best with every employee.
