In these post-pandemic years of rapid transformation, it is critical for organizations to have leaders who are adept change agents—who seek to preserve their organization’s best traditions while simultaneously encouraging them to take account of new dynamics and adjust their policies and culture accordingly.

It is not only our workplaces that are undergoing massive shifts; our personal lives are also being fundamentally altered, partly in response to workplace changes but also for other reasons. In their new book, Money and Love: An Intelligent Roadmap for Life’s Biggest Decisions, labor economist and Professor Emerita at Stanford University, Myra Strober, and social innovation leader, Abby Davisson, argue that although traditionally, changes at work and changes in personal lives have been seen as occurring in separate spheres, in fact, they are tightly connected. Decisions about personal life impact work and, to be successful, proposed changes at work need to consider their likely effects on employees’ lives outside of work. 

Strober and Davisson will share their flexible decision-making framework and discuss how it can be applied to enable workplace change.
