A guide for individuals and organizations navigating the complex and ambiguous Future of Work
Foreword by New York Times columnist and best-selling author Thomas L. Friedman
Technology is changing work as we know it. Cultural norms are undergoing tectonic shifts. A global pandemic proves that we are inextricably connected whether we choose to be or not. So much change, so quickly, is disorienting. It's undermining our sense of identity and challenging our ability to adapt. But where so many see these changes as threatening, Heather McGowan and Chris Shipley see the opportunity to open the flood gates of human potential--if we can change the way we think about work and leadership. They have dedicated the last 5 years to understanding how technical, business, and cultural shifts affecting the workplace have brought us to this crossroads, The result is a powerful and practical guide to the future of work for leaders and employees. The future can be better, but only if we let go of our attachment to our traditional (and disappearing) ideas about careers, and what a "good job" looks like.
Blending wisdom from interviews with hundreds of executives, The Adaptation Advantage explains the profound changes happening in the world of work and posits the solution: new ways to think about careers that detach our sense of pride and personal identity from our job title, and connect it to our sense of purpose. Activating purpose, the authors suggest, will inherently motivate learning, engagement, empowerment, and lead to new forms of pride and identity throughout the workforce. Only when we let go of our rigid career identities can we embrace and appreciate the joys of learning and adapting to new realities--and help our organizations do the same.
Of course, making this transition is hard. It requires leaders who can attract and motivate cognitively diverse teams fueled by a strong sense of purpose in an environment of psychological safety--despite fierce competition and external pressures. Adapting to the future of work has always called for strong leadership. Now, as a pandemic disrupts so many aspects of work, adapting is a leadership imperative. The Adaptation Advantage is an essential guide to help leaders meet that challenge.

Advanced Praise for The Adaptation Advantage
"The Adaptation Advantage is the clearest, most compelling, and original examination of the present and future workplace. The big surprise in this book is that it's not about learning to live with more robots, but rather learning to become more human. Whether you were born digital or born analog, The Adaptation Advantage is an indispensable resource for thriving in a world that is transforming as you read this."
--Jim Kouzes, Coauthor of The Leadership Challenge and Executive Fellow at the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Leavey School of Business
"Heather McGowan and Chris Shipley are prophets of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Their extraordinary insights and tools challenge and empower organizations, leaders, and people across society to thrive in a future marked by exceptional technological and societal change."
--Major General James Johnson, U.S. Air Force (ret), former Director of Air Force Integrated Resilience
The Adaptation Advantage makes sense of the confusing and scary world of change. McGowan and Shipley give us permission to be entrepreneurial by exploring the natural pathway to engagement in a context of uncertainty. Reading this book is a therapy session with motivational power. You'll want to reread it again and again.
--Stephen Spinelli Jr., PhD., President, Babson College, co-founder of Jiffy Lube
"Most books about the future of work put automation at the center of the story. McGowan and Shipley put humans at the center--as well they should. The Adaptive Advantage is a call to stop defining ourselves by our jobs, to extend formal education into lifelong learning, and to let curiosity lead us through the arc of our working lives. That way we remain resilient no matter how strong the waves of change become. Many essential capabilities can't be replaced...creativity, collaboration, judgment, sensemaking, empathy, and other forms of social and emotional intelligence are uniquely human. While technology will continue to influence the way we work we have immense agency to determine and design what we do and why we do it."
--Sandy Speicher, CEO, IDEO
"How thrilling to read the book that encourages us to see change as a propellant, not a weight! This is an insightful explanation of the velocity and force of the elements of change. It offers leaders the insight and capability to creatively lead transformations."
--Lynne Greene, Former Group President, Estee Lauder Companies
"McGowan and Shipley's The Adaptation Advantage nails it--adapting to change means adapting to a new identity It requires letting go of a job or skill-based identity in order to thrive in a world of rapidly changing societal norms and technologies. This is important reading."
--Jim Spohrer, PhD., IBM Director, Cognitive Open Technologies
