How To Work Will Be In The Future

“If you don’t think about and plan for the future of work then your organization has no future.” Jacob Morgan

I wrote some books on the future of work that haven’t been published. They are:

1. Value Giver Way: This book reveals how employees will apply for jobs in a company. CV will be worthless because most companies will want people who can add value to them from the very start.

2. Value Give Strategy: This book is all about how companies can onboard new hires in the future. It will be more like a wedding ceremony with vows taken. The company will make its promise of value, while the hires make their promise of engagement.

3. Value Giver Manifesto: This particular book shares how work will be all about value creation and employees will be paid for the value they create not for just being in the office. They will be paid for their contributions not for being employed. Payment for being employed makes them feel entitled while the value they bring makes them feel entitled.

4. Value Giver (Published): This book shows employees and entrepreneurs how they can go about creating value in the workplace.

In the future, people will have the power to work for any employer they want to whenever they want. They don’t have to wait for companies to have vacancies. They can walk into any company and negotiate what they want to be paid and start work. They will work from anywhere in the world and serve the company.

Already the mindset and capability to work from anywhere is available. In the future, the world of work will be leveled. There won’t be national boundaries again. Just as you have platforms like Upskill and others that allow people to work and deliver available to anyone who can rent them, that is how work will be.

An employee can work for google this month and create value. He can negotiate how much he will be paid for the value he created. After creating the value and getting equity for it, he can move to Apple and repeat the same. Just as entrepreneurs become rich, we will have employees also become very rich.

The Rise of Emplopreneurs

Emplopreneurs are employees who think and act like entrepreneurs. They are their own CEOs and they offer value for equity. Their major role is to help companies create more value for the marketplace. When they create value, they receive equity.

My dad worked for the power utility company of our nation. A government-owned company at that time. He served them for 33 years and then one day he was asked to leave. I became curious that how come after 33 years of working, he is only entitled to gratuity and pension for life. If he had negotiated equity for the value he created, he would have been very rich and can leave that as an inheritance for his kids.

Employment and salaries are not transferable and hereditary. Once you leave, someone else will take your place and the salary. Why can’t employees be also like entrepreneurs who handed over the equity they own to their children? What we understand today as a job came out of slavery. Organizations are unable to get the best of their people because the system of work is just glorified slavery.

It is slavery because people are not allowed to determine how much they want to earn. How can someone who works harder be paid the same amount as another who doesn’t care simply because they are in the same position? When people are paid for their contributions, they will bring their best to the workplace.

When people know they have a stake in the outcome, you don’t have to give them pep talks to motivate them to give their best. They will act in a way that will surprise you to ensure that the company continues to have a future that continually get bigger and better. Salaries are part and parcel of the work of the past. The future of work is about being paid for the value you bring to the company.

“You get paid for bringing value to the marketplace, and if you’re not very valuable you don’t make much money.” Jim Rohn

In most places, people get salary increases as they spend more time in the company. People don’t become more valuable because they have been in the company for a long; time isn’t value. Value can be created by anyone at any point.

Here are what you will find in the future of work:

1. People create value not sell time: They will be paid for the value they contribute to the company, not the time they spend working. They are not selling their time and effort, but value to their employer. They invest their time to create value. They are paid for what they bring out of their time not how many hours they put into their work.

2. People won’t take a salary but equity: In the future, people won’t want to work for 30 days and then be paid for the time. They will want equity in the value they help create; a stake in their contribution. That way they will focus on creating value that brings in the largest check for their employer.

3. People provide value to multiple companies: An employee can have multiple companies as clients. They will work to create value for companies in different industries and serve different markets.

4. People work harder on themselves, not on the job: Because their income is dependent on what they create, employees will focus on working harder on themselves to become better and more valuable. The more they learn and grow, the more value they are able to create.

5. People work from anywhere when they want to: People will be able to work from anywhere they want to work and at any time. They can work for a week and create so much value that they can be gone for the next 3 or more months. It may take time to create value, but once created, it will harvest opportunities.

6. Work will be about collaboration between companies and value creators: Work will not be like a master-slave relationship but a collaborative relationship to make the world a better place for everyone.

When people know they will be paid for the value they contribute, they will naturally focus on learning how to create value. They will seek to work in places where they can create value not where they are not passionate about. Value creation capability, not degrees or certificates will make a difference in the future.
