During his round-the-globe trip, much of it in person, Gary started designing “The Next Rules of Work Plus.” That is what happens when the feedback and questions you receive along the way build upon your body of work.

This session will kick off with a firestarter talk that includes what he learned from real-life applications of his model, followed by a few questions, and then the gates are open to your questions. Gary will be available for 30 minutes or more to your questions.

Gary discovered:

✅ Multiple case studies of organizations and municipalities have applied some new rules. He will share a few.

✅ Followers of the “Next Rules” embrace a different mindset. Individual workers contribute creative solutions to complex problems and pursue their responsibilities.

✅ Employees no longer focus only on completing predictable assignments. Modern employees mix and match the stability of a day job, the uncertainty of gig work, and the gamble of launching a start-up.

✅ Managers no longer act as the center of all workplace knowledge. Instead, they’re guides (coaches) who help workers achieve their goals.

✅ Frontline employees act as co-equal teammates – partners in a fluid and flexible business environment.
