About this listen

The workplace isn't what it used to be - and neither is the workforce.

Today’s companies have fewer hierarchical layers. The nature of work is also more virtual, collaborative, and transparent than at any previous time. Information flows move every which way, shifting from top-down to all-in. And the workforce is forever altered, too. Sweeping changes in expectations across backgrounds, experiences, generations, and gender are challenging long-held, inflexible beliefs about the relationship between work and life—and the very meaning of success.

These transformations, observe Cathleen Benko and Molly Anderson, are also upending the ways people advance along their career paths. Careers zig and zag. Work is what you do, not where you go. The traditional corporate ladder, firmly rooted in the industrial era, proffers a one-size-fits-all view of the world of work. In this audiobook, the authors argue, convincingly, that a lattice model is better suited to today’s global business environment.

The Corporate Lattice provides a framework to help organizations transform how careers are built, how work is done, and how participation is fostered. The corporate lattice model offers leaders a strategic approach to making the most of the shifting landscape by:

  • Recognizing that there is no longer a universal view of success but rather a multiplicity of ways to grow and contribute
  • Challenging traditional models that pit high performance and career-life fit as opposing forces
  • Providing a cost-effective, systematic method to deliver more individualized and engaging work experiences

Offering much more than theory, the authors illustrate the lattice model using rich, in-depth case studies of exemplars, including Cisco and Thomson Reuters.

Critic reviews

“The right model for the times. The Corporate Lattice takes on worn-out corporate ladder assumptions and convincingly argues that the workplace must adopt more nimble ways to engage its people. This audiobook illuminates a much-needed path forward, showing organizations how to tap into each individual’s performance power to achieve exceptional bottom-line results.” (Marshall Goldsmith, executive coach and New York Times best-selling author)

Terrible Narration

I admit this review is biased in that whilst I found the material useful, I was severely put off by the narrator - Erik - who read every sentence in the same way 99% of the time. It started out normally, but ended quickly and on a higher tone. Every. Single. Sentence. Read. Like. A. Hockey. Stick.

I wish I could rate the narrator...or at least blacklist a narrator from being purchased again.
