Episode Summary
The tectonic plates of work are shifting before our eyes. Meg Patel joins us with over 20 years of talent development experience to help us make sense of it all.
In this far-ranging conversation, Meg weighs in on some of the most pressing issues facing leaders today. We discuss the caution areas creeping up during economic uncertainty and the need to re-examine company purpose. Meg provides tactics for upskilling displaced workers and stresses the urgency of starting early with the next generation.
She also tackles thorny issues like the broken employee-employer relationship and the elusive value of human workers. Meg argues passionately for standardized performance metrics using sports as an example. She shares her unconventional views on career development and makes the case for at-will employment going away.
Throughout the interview, Meg’s message is clear – while we must thoughtfully integrate game-changing technologies like AI, humans have an obligation to retain personal agency. Her wealth of knowledge delivers rare insights that both warn of pitfalls ahead while offering a roadmap to thrive.
