Hands up if work and life are steady, predictable and neatly compartmentalised for you?
Me neither.
This week I was delighted to chat with Tom Shaw, Head of Organization Effectiveness at The Economist about how to have a fulfilling career when life and work are deeply intertwined and in a constant state of flux.
We also discuss how he helps colleagues to grow and realise their potential by:
⭐️ Encouraging transparency in career conversations and pathways.
⭐️ Equipping managers to coach team members effectively.
⭐️ Translating talent conversations into activities for people to take advantage of.
Tom’s the author of one of the best books I’ve read this year: Counterbalance: how to build your career without ruining your life’. All proceeds go to the National Autistic Society, order your copy here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Counterbalance-build-career-without-ruining/dp/1399994743
