This document discusses leadership and productivity challenges in times of transition. It notes that 100,000 engineers graduate annually in India willing to work long hours for low wages, increasing competition for jobs in Finland. New technologies allow work to be digitally distributed, requiring efficient coordination, high-quality communication, and shared responsibility. The future will see a shift from content production to content sharing, and from static tools to powerful cloud-based environments optimized for location, context and sensors. Old practices like unproductive meetings and communication delays hamper productivity. New leadership is needed to navigate these industry changes.
