Furture Of Work (FoW)

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.

—Albert Einsteinl

What Is The Future Of Work?

There are forces at work which have to be constantly studied because they impact all industries and nations in one way or the other. There is not only globalisation, but also growing nationalism, accelerating digitalisation, climate change, demographics (ageing population, rising unemployment etc), concerns around food security, pandemics like we had seen none which are causing economic markets to either create bubbles or busts.

The World Economic Forum encourages dialogue around these subjects and thought leaders, economists and political heads draw out their agendas around how the extent of disruption all these would bring in their respective home grounds. Business leaders have to have an understanding of the changing paradigms of leadership, flexible workforce arrangements, fluid roles and structures in a hybrid working model. The uncertainty around these can cause loss of employee productivity, focus, attrition and engagement. The playbook of the future of work therefore has to be constantly updated.

I have had a good fortune of working on FoW for over a decade and continues to remain devoted to it.

Senior Executive, Private Bank

Mandeep ensures that she understands each one of her mentee’s personally and professionally and gives directions and helps us take decisions accordingly. Strength spotting is what she aces and will always give her advise by bolstering her mentees personal strength. This has helped me tremendously in my corporate journey while also making me realise my personal long term goals.

Mandeep Ma’am experience, intuitive skills and technical expertise all blend and enable the mentee to sharpen strategic thinking and visioning to have an impactful executive presence in the organization.

I am happy to have been successful in implementing some of those changes and bringing the transformation to make the next big leap.

Directing Staff, Naval War College, Goa

Mandeep displays an extraordinary ability to distil situations and circumstances, and cut to the heart of issues, providing illuminating insights and leveraging on her vast experience and wealth of knowledge to facilitate the conceptualization and crafting of relevant strategies and courses of action for immediate and longer-term results. Our interactions with her have been invariably positive and invaluable.

Director

Healthcare Group

To me a Mentor is someone who is a trusted advisor and guide who imparts wisdom and shares knowledge with you. And a good Coach is someone who teaches you how to play or helps you become a better player but always from the sidelines and being in the background. Mandeep has been all of this and more. Her innate ability to connect at a personal level and yet maintain the professionalism required of a mentor is what makes her amongst the best in the business. She has been one of the biggest influences on my career.

CXO

Banking

I approached Mandeep as a coach a couple of years back at a very crucial juncture of my career. As we progressed, her facilitation helped me get a better clarity about the options I had and my preferred path amongst them. I felt very motivated to try and cross the last miles of improvement and the best part was I felt complete ownership of the process. When I look back now, I see that I have grown in my career, I am much more confident of the personal choices I have made and am looking forward to the rest of the working life very positively.

Senior Private Banker

We found Mandeep to be a great thought leader and someone who was able to understand the strategic issues our team was facing rather quickly. She was able to establish credibility and rapport in a short time so as to facilitate the discussions in depth, an important element for a coach to have in the C suite.

CIO

You cannot transmit wisdom and insight to another person. The seed is already there. A good teacher touches the seed, allowing it to wake up, to sprout, and to grow.
