Bestselling Author Daniel Pink Explores Leadership, Meaning, and the Great Workplace Reset on Digital Disruption Podcast
The sixth episode of Info-Tech Research Group's podcast, Digital Disruption, features a conversation with bestselling author Daniel Pink about how today's leaders can navigate what he calls "the great sort"—a post-pandemic reckoning that's reshaping how we think about work, leadership, and meaning. At the heart of the discussion is Pink's call to action: stop theorizing, start experimenting.
TORONTO, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - As organizations continue to face new expectations around leadership, culture, and performance, the call to adapt with clarity and purpose has never been more urgent. In episode 6 of Digital Disruption, "How the Future of Work Is Changing," bestselling author and workplace strategist Daniel Pink and host Geoff Nielson explore why now is the time for leaders to embrace experimentation, reflection, and small, consistent progress as a path forward.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Pink offers insight into the moment he calls "the great sort," a period of recalibration where organizations must rethink everything from office architecture to leadership norms. According to Pink, today's most effective leaders aren't those with all the answers but those who are willing to admit what they don't know and model behaviors that foster resilience, autonomy, and experimentation.
"Daniel Pink has the rare ability to simplify complex topics without watering them down," says Geoff Nielson, senior vice president of brand at Info-Tech Research Group and host of Digital Disruption. "In this Digital Disruption episode, Daniel challenges IT leaders to trade in perfection for progress and control for curiosity. It's not just about rethinking work; it's about relearning how to lead in a world where the old playbooks no longer apply."
At the heart of the conversation is Pink's belief that leadership is no longer about projecting certainty but about creating environments where learning and reflection are valued as much as results. Pink encourages organizations to rethink how they structure time, define productivity, and support their teams, especially in hybrid and constantly shifting work contexts.
Pink, whose books have sold millions of copies and are translated into 42 languages, is one of today's most influential voices on human behavior and motivation. Pink's research-driven insights offer a roadmap for organizations seeking to evolve in ways that are meaningful and sustainable.
