Whether you’re the boss, the deputy, or climbing the career ladder, the way we work in a post-pandemic world has changed forever, and it’s essential to make your work work for you. This book explores how to approach work differently, written by the host of the award-winning Financial Times podcast Working It. Filled with expert analysis and forward-thinking workplace trends, it examines the big ideas shaping today’s world of work and identifies outdated habits we need to break, combining expert insights with personal experience, and summarizing key takeaways at the end of each chapter.

This modern guide is useful for everyone—whether employed or self-employed, navigating new hybrid work practices, or starting out on their own after the pandemic. The book is divided into two sections: Staff and Managers, making it relevant for both groups, since most people are managed at some point or aspire to advance, and can consult it for expert advice at any stage of their career.
