The genius guide to future-proofing your career
Briefly

Human beings bring uniqueness to every job they perform, even in repetitive tasks like serving food. Traditional management views, rooted in industrial age concepts, treat employees as replaceable parts within defined roles. This job-centric model limits organizational potential. Research indicates that organizations perform better when they encourage employees to step outside these rigid boundaries. The idea of job roles and titles originates from historical management practices, where efficiency was prioritized over individual contributions.

The more you get away from this idea that I have this box around me, and I have to work inside the box, the higher-performing company you're going to have.
The idea of a job goes back to very old industrial companies where we had management and labor. The managers decided what to do, and the labor did the work.
We had hundreds of hundreds of books written in the 1960s and the 1970s and 1980s based on this job-centric model of management.
