The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a transformation in the way we work by accelerating the shift to hybrid virtual and in-person models and by requiring a fundamental change in the skills team leaders need to succeed. Leaders must now perform four roles as they adapt to managing a hybrid workforce. As organizations plan ways to bring remote employees back to the workplace, they must take advantage of this opportunity to rethink how and where work is best done, and how to combine the best aspects of remote work and working together. Today's leaders need best practices to deal strategically and operationally with a distributed and diverse workforce that spans internal and external boundaries. The authors suggest that the best way to address the shift towards managing all types of workers is through the lens of a workforce ecosystem, a structure that consists of interdependent actors, inside and outside the organization, who work together to achieve individual and collective objectives.
