Key Questions:

• What’s one way your own work has changed in 2020 that you want to continue into the future? 
• Are the challenges of 2020 providing you new insights into the future of work? What’s one?
• The experience of Work From Home has some benefits and costs — what are some effects you’re seeing?
• Getting personal: What’s been hard for you in 2020, and how is that changing who you are as a leader?
• How can we assess which of the pandemic’s effects on our workplaces will “stick” past 2020?
• In many organisations, the culture of management — how to supervise and lead people — is still stuck in 1950. Is the pandemic catalyzing a change in management?
• There are a lot of people out of work right now, and a lot of people who hate their work right now — so what’s your advice for being future-ready as an employee?
• Like any crisis, the pandemic makes certain things more obvious — what’s become more clear to you about your own future of work?
• How optimistic are you about 2021 and —  in just one sentence — why?
