The Fundamental Human Relationship with Work

James Suzman, an anthropologist and former executive, says one way
to better understand the future of work is to learn from the
history of it. He has studied an ancient hunter-gatherer society in
Namibia and says our modern notions of work, economy, and
productivity are perhaps too limiting. Suzman argues that humans
have always been drawn to work for its intrinsic value, and that
managers can prepare for the future workplace by broadening their
thinking about work and purpose. Suzman is the author of the new
book "Work: A History of How We Spend Our Time."
