Summary
In the age of AI, you can’t run companies on Victorian principles.
The current tech transformation – more dramatic than the Industrial Revolution – combined with changing expectations of work, and continual disruption and uncertainty, will force senior leaders to adopt new approaches to stay relevant in the 21st century. This audiobook argues for innovative, ‘Punk’ leadership that liberates the rampant talent of your most important asset – your people. Understand how:
• AI will affect the nature of human work in the future
• Radical empowerment will enable you to capitalise on the opportunities ahead
• Unpicking the myths of change will successfully create a ‘change ready’ organisation
• People and their ideas can thrive under your leadership
• You can leave behind an organisation that’s fit for the future
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic reviews
‘Read this if you want to cut through the noise, understand the signal, and succeed in tomorrow’s world.’
— L. David Marquet, retired United States Navy captain and bestselling author of Turn the Ship Around and Leadership Is Language
‘A crisply written account of the big themes leaders need to consider about our modern workplaces, transformed forever by Covid, remote working and new tech like artificial intelligence. A thought-provoking primer for business leaders looking to get the most out of a modern workforce by moving beyond the tired, old strategies designed for Industrial-Age management.’
— Dougal Shaw, BBC journalist and author of CEO Secrets
‘Business leaders have talked about the importance of humans, organisational culture and employee engagement for decades. It must now go from simple talk, to leading, to real change. In Punks in Suits, Blaire Palmer clearly spells out why today’s leaders must grasp the nettle, and the questions they need to answer to leave their organisations in a healthy state for the next generation.’
— Jez Rose, behaviour insight advisor, keynote speaker and author of Flip the Switch
‘In an era where AI elevates our processes, Blaire’s book brilliantly reminds us that our most crucial role as leaders is to be profoundly human. She eloquently highlights the quintessential human skills that will distinguish us in today’s and tomorrow’s workplaces. This work is compelling and challenging; it’s a vital blueprint for our role in humanity and leadership.’
— Ian Hughes, CEO, Consumer Intelligence
‘Blaire is a beacon of light for leadership, busting common myths that surround many leadership styles and thinking. This book intentionally pokes you with uncomfortable questions which reach the depths of your soul. It’s a compelling and perceptive read, challenging our yesterdays against the future of leadership for the next generation and after. Not just another leadership book, but one that gets you on track for change, backed with podcast interviews to help deepen the narrative and understanding. Every chapter leaves you wanting to change the world… well, the workplace anyhow!’
— Kathy Sharkey, HR director, Rexel UK Ltd
