Open to Work (2026)

In a world where artificial intelligence is transforming work at a rapid pace, this guide shows how to thrive regardless of your role, industry or experience. Written by Ryan Roslansky, CEO of LinkedIn, and Aneesh Raman, LinkedIns Chief Economic Opportunity Officer, it draws on LinkedIn data, Microsoft research and stories from across a billion members to reveal the real-time changes reshaping jobs, careers and companies in the AI era. The authors explain why the future belongs not to those who resist change, but to those who adapt by developing uniquely human skills such as creativity, curiosity and communication. Practical frameworks, inspiring stories and a 90-day action plan encourage readers to use AI as a tool rather than a threat and build a career as dynamic as the technology transforming it. Business leaders, entrepreneurs and anyone open to new possibilities will find a guide to getting ahead and staying ahead as work is reinvented.
