There are few loftier goals than sending 100 people at a time to the moon, but one look at SpaceX's Starship flight on Tuesday, it seems, in the words of Elon Musk "progress is accelerating" and … "we're coming in hot."
The future of civilization can be a bit dim at the moment, but space travel is perhaps one of the only glimpses into the future that feels unequivocally bright, giving us something to look up, out and forward to. We'll continue to follow SpaceX's missions, along with Elon's Twitter. And while a mission to the moon isn't exactly analogous to the future of work, it undoubtedly helps us find some light in this very unsettling time and hope for innovation ahead.
"Coming in hot" may also be how you describe how you or your colleagues are feeling these days with the insurmountable stress many of us are facing. In fact, the WHO updated its definition of burnout which provides a bit of clarity for what we're all feeling. Learn about the strategies that can help beat distraction, reduce stress and find mental clarity.
We have frequently addressed the importance of diversity and inclusion for a healthy and profitable organization, but only now are we seeing major organizational shifts to get us to a healthier state of D&I in the workplace. Even as we progress further into improved workplaces for all, there are still significant limitations dealing with bias when it comes to AI and Machine Learning. Julia Boorstin led a fascinating interview with the president of EqualAI, an organization that defines itself on "writing and righting the future."
All those stories below. Plus, be sure to sign up to join us for next week's @Work livestream. Jon Fortt will be leading a conversation with CIOs of both Lowe's and Synchrony. They'll talk about the pace of innovation, benefits of the agile mindset, skills of the future and the evolving role of the CIO. Don't miss it.
