Really beautiful take on careers and what it means to move between jobs and responsibilities, or even simply choosing different projects to work on. <3 Your take on what energizes us is really powerful, and in this rainy day while I question my current work environment it's exactly what I needed to read. Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words Adria. I’m glad the piece resonated. Lots more to come and I’m delighted to have you as a subscriber. Also, when is this rain going to stop?!

I really like this article; it shines a light on personal responsibility, not just following the path others have created.

The sadness is that, in so many organisations, this is not actively pursued by managers and leaders; in fact, they abhor it because it is beyond their control.

And today, the expectations of employees and customers have changed.

Leadership and management must learn to rebalance freedom and control and revisit what they can actually control.
