The COVID-19 pandemic has led to worldwide mass unemployment, and a 'work from home' economy. This podcast explores the most effective leadership approach for this type of working, the type of talent needed to succeed and the hard and soft skills that leaders are now looking for when they recruit in these COVID times. It then looks at how unemployed people can go about beating the competition to the scarce number of jobs available and the importance of up-skilling and getting more tech savvy. It then looks at the type of courses job seekers should be taking and the importance of social media etiquette and being a good digital citizen, both as a manager and as a job seeker. With working from home proving to be such a hit for companies, we finish by looking at the future employment landscape and the trend for "boundless jobs."
