The notion that one can work in a single company or job for an extended period of time has changed. Companies are in need of talent. People are in search of jobs and just the right position for themselves.
How do we find that perfect match? In years past, one might pivot once, perhaps even twice over the course of their career. Today, a person may need to pivot multiple times. Can a business adapt to the amount of change their employees may need to make over the course of their lifetime? Will an individual want to or be prepared to change jobs on an ongoing basis throughout their career? Sometimes, there is a need to pivot. Can the pivot be made, smoothly? Finding starting points for these conversations can be challenging. Is it a pivot or is it a career change? Both are acceptable. Pivots, if planned, can be easier to navigate. Career changes require more preparation. Either way, fluctuations can be daunting, for both the individual and the organizations they work for, especially when there is a lack of clarity in managing the complexities of skills, career aspirations, and interests. Having meaningful conversations that gather personal insights and reveal options either before or when it is time to initiate career exploration can ease the transition.
This book captures the insights the author has gained through her career and provides the valuable lessons learned from reviewing resumes, interviewing, and coaching those early in their careers, starting new careers, or in the midst of career transitions. The author also shares her personal experience with career exploration and navigating change.
In a world where organizations strive for greatness, the people within them hold the key to success. Despite numerous studies, books, and training programs, leaders continue to struggle with unlocking the full potential of their workforce, resulting in low employee engagement, high turnover, burnout, and toxic cultures. It is evident that a transformation is needed to make work truly good for people.
Renowned author and consultant/coach Moe Carrick draws on her 35 years of experience both inside and outside organizations to present a refreshing and honest roadmap for leaders seeking to create a workplace fit for human life. When Work is Good begins with the acknowledgment that the global pandemic of 2020 reshaped the way we work forever. While we recognize the detrimental effects of toxic cultures and the importance of people-centered leadership, many organizations still cling to outdated managerial theories from the Industrial Revolution.
This book aims to illuminate the notion that work can be a positive force in people's lives. Carrick explores three core elements essential to building a workplace that fosters love and commitment: investing in leaders who prioritize the well-being of their employees, cultivating a conscious and brave culture, and empowering teams that genuinely care for each other. Moreover, she addresses the complexities of modern work environments, such as AI integration, remote and hybrid work models, and dynamic meta-economies.
When Work is Good offers practical and actionable solutions that benefit individuals and businesses, Carrick emphasizes the significance of creating a positive work environment and advocates for redefining success at work to include survival and thriving.
Divided into several parts, the book delves into critical aspects of cultivating a thriving workplace. Part I exposes the flaws in traditional workplace practices, while Part II introduces the concept of bravespace as a healthier alternative. Part III stresses the importance of investing in leaders who prioritize employee well-being, and Part IV outlines strategies for building a conscious and brave organizational culture. Part V focuses on nurturing teams that genuinely care for each other, and Part VI tackles the challenges of AI integration and profit-sharing.
Ultimately, When Work is Good envisions a future where organizations prioritize their workforce's growth, connection, and flourishing. Carrick advocates passionately for a human-centered approach, challenging the conventional notion of work as a machine-like process. The book caters to leaders across various sectors, particularly relevant to small to medium-sized organizations. Business owners, founders, entrepreneurs, as well as HR, OD, coaches, and consultants invested in organizational culture, leadership, structures, and teams will find valuable insights within these pages.
In this compelling exploration of creating thriving organizations for people, Carrick offers hope and guidance for a future where work is truly good. The book invites leaders to embrace a new era of human-centered work environments where individuals thrive, connections flourish, and organizations achieve unparalleled success.
Today, we are confronted with a lot of compelling career options, but with little guidance. The new age engagement models, such as working-from-home, freelancing, gig-workforce, moonlighting, co-working spaces, solopreneur and entrepreneur-in-residence, have ushered significant flux in both the formal and informal work settings. There are opportunities galore, and the democratization of technology has only exacerbated our quest for the most suitable career.
Design Your Career is the distillation of Pavan's 550 workshops at over 175 organizations across five countries where he infers that human talent is grossly underutilized. This book is a humble attempt in offering hope and clarity to individuals who feel helpless amid all the chaos and to give them the appropriate tools and frameworks to guide their careers towards fulfilment.
