The 4th Industrial Revolution – Shaping the Future of Work and Education

In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we’re joined by Heather McGowan, a keynote speaker, author and future-of-work strategist. McGowan is set to close MGMA20 | The Financial Conference with a general session presentation titled “The 4th Industrial Revolution: A New Leadership Imperative.” To see McGowan’s list of recommended reads or to browse any of her articles, visit linkedin.com/in/heathermcgowan. Highlights from McGowan’s interview: • “Only about 27% of people ever work in the field of their undergraduate major, yet we myopically focus on it. And those 27%, I would argue a good percentage of them are faculty. So, most of the people who are telling you about your future are telling you about their own experience, which probably won’t be yours.” • “If you think of all the things you do in a day, how many of them can you point back to because you were good at that in high school? Very small percentage. What we should be focusing on instead is, what are you interested in? What are you curious about? Because you’re going to have to learn and adapt for life.” • “If you think about that person you had on your team or the person you interviewed who kind of irritated you because they asked you a question you hadn’t thought about, hug that person. Hire that person. They’re checking your blind spots.” Here are some links and references related to this week’s show: • What If The Future Of Work Starts With High School?
