The job duties of leaders and managers have grown longer and more complex over the past couple of years. That has changed how leaders -- from the C-suite to middle management -- think about work and what they really want in their lives.
Those have always been top responsibilities for leaders and managers at work. But their job duties have grown more time-consuming and complex thanks to the stress of the pandemic, searing political discord, urgent social justice issues, geopolitical earthquakes, the Great Resignation and now recession fears.
Keeping employees focused and happy through it all -- while striving to accommodate everyone's scheduling needs, health concerns and personal obligations on top of their own bosses' demands -- has been ... well, a lot.
