Future of Work Glossary
The world of work is changing. New words, new approaches, and new technologies are entering our professional vocabulary every day. But what do terms like Agentic AI, Talent Development, or Shared Leadership really mean? And more importantly: what practical impact do they have on how we work, lead, learn, and grow?
This glossary was created to bring operational clarity to the key terms of contemporary work. Each entry is designed for managers, HR professionals, C-level executives, L&D leaders, and consultants who want to understand — in a practical and strategic way — how these concepts can generate real value for teams and organizations.
You’ll find in-depth definitions, concrete examples, comparisons with traditional approaches, organizational impact, and scientific references. All in a style that is clear, direct, and focused on helping you turn ideas into action.
This is not an academic dictionary. It’s a practical guide to help you navigate the evolving landscape of work and leadership — built on the real-world experience of Edoardo Binda Zane’s coaching, training, and consulting projects.
One word at a time, we build a more conscious, human, and effective work culture.
