Scott Pitasky, Executive Vice President and Chief Partner (Human) Resources Officer, Starbucks–
“The world of work is changing in just about every way. There are big obvious shifts like globalization and the impact of technology and emerging trends around value and purpose that make us rethink what we are trying to accomplish. Lead the Work is a wonderful combination of theory and practice that explores these changes. It helps us understand what is happening and the ‘new choices’ we have to innovate and execute. How do we use partners and customers? How can technology source skills from within our own organization? How can work be dissected to be more responsive and fast? John, Ravin, and David help us all be more aware of these fundamental changes and more prepared to make informed and deliberate decisions in this new world of work.”

Adam Grant, Professor, Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania, and New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take–
“Leadership has become more collective, boundaryless and democratic. A big reason is that work is no longer done only by your employees, but by a vast global community that works in very different ways, and expects very different things. Lead the Work describes a pivotal change in how organizations and workers will engage, a shift as tectonic as past evolutions like online commerce, the sharing economy, and social media. The book draws on engaging stories, scholarly evidence, and best practices from leading organizations, and the decades of experience of its authors. If this evolution in work hasn’t reached your organization yet, it will, and its progress will be exponential. This book will help you get ahead of the curve to navigate this new world.”
