Summary of Chip Conley's Wisdom at Work

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The age at which we’re feeling self-consciously old is creeping into some people’s thirties, with power cascading to the young in so many companies. The problem is that many of these young digital leaders are being thrust into positions of power without experience or guidance. #2 The world is changing, and the workplace is changing with it. The more technology becomes ubiquitous, the less DQ is a differentiator. The human element of business can never be automated. #3 We can distract ourselves from the mirror and untag ourselves in Facebook photos, but society has an uncanny way of reminding us of our age. Baby boomers enjoy better health than ever, but they feel less and less relevant. #4 We workers of a certain age are actually less like a carton of spoiled milk and more like a bottle of fine wine. We may live longer than our parents, but power is moving to those ten years younger. If we don’t rethink our role, we’ll be irrelevante by the time we are thirty.
