The industrial machine valued productivity as the end goal.
Productivity helped everyone. Cars became more affordable. As did food, clothing, TVs, toilet paper, and information. Ford, Carnegie, Bezos, Gates, and the other industrial leaders evolved and then led the charge.
Get more done faster and cheaper.
Human workers were every bit the machine. Each stood in their spot. Each had their job. Each complied. Each generation went faster than the previous.
But productivity as the end goal of work has had its day. The new paradigm values significance.
The leaders of tomorrow will evolve and lead the charge.
