Succeeding in the Gig Economy

Meet gig expert Diane Mulcahy.

“Many of our schools are preparing their students for a labor market that is increasingly nonexistent. With The Gig Economy, Diane Mulcahy fills this critical gap and provides all of us with a set of tools and a mindset for a more productive and pleasurable work life. A must-read for anyone trying to make their way in the “new order.”

Professor Leonard Schlesinger, Harvard Business School
