Many expert level professionals are no longer looking for traditional career paths; they want work that is fully project-based and meaningful, values-aligned, and built around their expertise. At the same time, growing companies need trusted, high-caliber talent to scale, innovate, and navigate change—not just a temporary fix. This dramatic shift in the way proven experts want to work will require new standards of excellence and organization in the gig economy. This has an impact on the workforce of today and tomorrow. Here’s an opportunity to hear Dean Henrik Cronqvist of Chapman University Argyros College of Business & Economics and our founder Jamie Jacobs explore the gig economy.

Leadership is about more than intention—it’s about impact. A recent Gallup study highlights a major disconnect between how managers think they are leading and how employees experience that leadership. While 50% of managers believe they provide weekly feedback, only 20% of employees agree. The same gap exists in recognition for good work. These discrepancies don’t just affect engagement—they impact retention, productivity, and long-term success. The good news? Leadership development can close this gap. At Gig Talent we connect organizations with experienced leadership coaches who help managers grow into the leaders their teams need. Ready to invest in leadership excellence?
