What if trade policy wasn't really about trade at all? What if it was about revenge, power, and punishment, tariffs as tantrums and diplomacy as drama? You won't find the Grievance Doctrine in economics textbooks, but there is one book that explains what it is, what its policies are, and the way it is currently being implemented. Richard Baldwin of IMD Business School in Lausanne, the founder and the Editor-in-Chief of VoxEU is also the author of “The Great Trade Hack”. In it, he sets out the way the Grievance Doctrine has been weaponised by this US administration, how the rest of the world could respond, and what might happen next. Richard joins Tim Phillips to explain the thinking that guides policy one of the most extraordinary periods in the history of trade – and why the rest of world will do just fine without the US as an ally.

Few leaders have been trained to ask great questions. That might explain why they tend to be good at certain kinds of questions, and less effective at other kinds. Unfortunately, that hurts their ability to pursue strategic priorities. Arnaud Chevallier, strategy professor at IMD Business School, explains how leaders can break out of that rut and systematically ask five kinds of questions: investigative, speculative, productive, interpretive, and subjective. He shares real-life examples of how asking the right sort of question at a key time can unlock value and propel your organization. With his IMD colleagues Frédéric Dalsace and Jean-Louis Barsoux, Chevallier wrote the HBR article “The Art of Asking Smarter Questions.” Key episode topics include: decision-making, problem solving, active listening, leadership strategic planning Listen to the original HBR IdeaCast episode: Are You Asking the Right Questions?Find more episodes of HBR IdeaCast.Discover 100 years of Harvard Business Review articles, case studies, podcasts, and more at HBR.org.]]>

In this episode, Andreas Munk Holm talks with Jim Pulcrano, an entrepreneur turned venture capital educator and professor at IMD Business School. Jim shares how his early startup experience in Switzerland pulled him into the orbit of venture capital back when the ecosystem was still in its infancy. He talks about creating IMD's VC Asset Management Program, which aims to give LPs a crash course in venture, teaching them both the appeal and the real difficulty of being a GP. It's a fresh look at how education can bridge the knowledge gap between conservative allocators and the fast-moving world of startups.Jim also shares what he's learned running IMD's startup competition and Swiss scale-up programs. He shares insights from his research into VC behavior, like why less experienced investors are often eager to lead rounds while mid-career ones take a backseat. He explains why experienced GPs tend to source proactively and why most avoid relying too much on HR assessments when evaluating founders.Chapters:01:38 Jim's Journey into Venture Capital02:42 Creating the VC Asset Management Program03:37 Challenges and Strategies in Educating LPs07:24 Understanding Pension Fund Managers16:40 The IMD Starter Competition18:29 Swiss Startups and Silicon Valley20:04 European vs. US Entrepreneurial Ambitions22:50 Can You Teach Venture Capital?25:38 Recognizing Entrepreneurial Potential26:04 Swiss Scale-Up Program Overview26:32 Challenges in Scaling Up27:16 Leadership in Scaling Companies28:05 Venture-Backed vs. Bootstrapped Startups28:57 Founder-Led Companies and VC Opinions31:41 VCs and Lead Investors36:33 VC Experience and Investment Strategies41:17 Evaluating Founders and Teams46:18 Outbound Sourcing by Experienced VCs

Guest post by Michael Watkins who is a professor of leadership at the IMD Business School, co-founder of Genesis Advisers, and a bestselling business author of books including The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking and The First 90 Days. This article looks at the challenges of remote work. Working from home, whether full-time or just a few days a week, provides significant potential benefits. There's no commute, improved work-life balance, and often increased productivity during focused tasks. Many professionals discover that they can focus better without office distractions, save money on transportation and meals, and gain valuable flexibility in managing their schedules. However, remote work does come with challenges, and even those who initially excel in a home environment may experience a decline in effectiveness over time. Remote Work: Overcoming the Challenges Recognizing when and why your home working setup is not serving you well is essential for making necessary adjustments. Whether you're facing difficulties with remote work days or contemplating changes to your hybrid schedule, pinpointing the biggest challenges is the first step. Here are the top three obstacles and their solutions: 1. Lack of structure and boundaries. The absence of traditional office routines can lead to irregular work patterns and make disconnecting difficult. If this is a challenge for you, try to address it by establishing a strict daily schedule with clear start and end times for your workdays at home. Create a morning routine to replace your commute, improve your task management, and set alarms to signal the end of your workday. Most importantly, avoid checking work emails and messages during off-hours to keep your mental boundaries intact. 2. Home environment distractions. From household chores vying for your attention to family members interrupting important calls, distractions at home can break your focus and lower productivity. Set up a dedicated workspace, even if it's just a corner of a room, and clearly communicate your work hours to family members. Utilize noise-canceling headphones and adopt productivity techniques. Consider maintaining separate devices for work and personal tasks to decrease the temptation to mix activities. 3. Professional isolation. Without regular office interactions, work can become isolating, and creativity may decline. Schedule virtual coffee chats with colleagues on remote workdays, join online professional communities within your industry, and consider occasionally working from a café or coworking space. Many professionals discover that maintaining connections takes intentional effort - setting up regular team check-ins and engaging actively in virtual meetings. The challenges of remote work can affect people differently based on gender. Recent research indicates that women often face greater pressure to balance work and household responsibilities during work hours at home, while men frequently report feeling more isolated and struggle with maintaining boundaries. Women may need to be more explicit in setting interruption rules with family, while men could benefit from intentionally scheduling social connections. If these adjustments don't enhance your situation, consider spending more time in a co-working space or changing your home-to-office ratio. You might find that you work more effectively with two days at home for focused tasks and three days in the office for collaboration, while others might prefer the reverse. Regardless of your gender or circumstances, the key is to discover the right balance that promotes both productivity and well-being in your professional life.

Phil Rosenzweig has been a professor at IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland, for about 30 years. We discuss Phil's legendary book “The Halo Effect”, which debunks much of the classic management literature and explains how we tend to think that when a company performs well, the CEO is fantastic, the company has operational excellence, and the employees love to work there. We set a halo on the good performers.For more info about the podcast, go to the episode page and make sure to follow us on X/Twitter.

Donald Trump's tariffs are a twentieth century tool that simply won't work in the 21st century global trading system. That's the view of today's guest, Richard Baldwin, professor of international economics at the IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland. Speaking to the FT's Martin Wolf, Baldwin explains how the shift towards global manufacturing supply chains since the 1990s, and the more recent explosion in digital services exports, mean that the impact of across-the-board import taxes such as the ones proposed by the new US administration will be counterproductive and much more limited than in the past. Nonetheless, should we still worry about the harm that Trump's policies may be doing to the global trading system, and how should other countries respond?Martin Wolf is chief economics commentator at the Financial Times.

It's called The Great Plant-Based Con, and boy oh boy, is it a con. From NGOs, Big Pharma, Big Ag, celebrities, universities, researchers, government - it's a complicated web of interconnected incentives. I ask listeners to go into this podcast with an open mind, and truly listen to the knowledge of author Jayne Buxton based on the incredible amount of research she did in putting this book together.Get your copy of The Great Plant-Based Con NOW: https://thegreatplantbasedcon.comJayne was born in the UK and has lived in Canada, the US and the UK.

The global world is in the midst of economic uncertainty, shifting workplace dynamics and vast technological change - in no other sector are leaders facing more rapid and substantial challenges than technology. As we look ahead to a new year, recalibrating strategies and setting intentions for success will help tech leaders remain focused, as they set the tone for yet another transformative period. New Year Resolutions for Tech Leaders in 2025 Here are four resolutions that every tech leader should consider this year: Make AI Work For Sustainability AI has huge potential to do good, but when it comes to sustainability, the challenge is clear: "will AI drive sustainability forward or hold it back?" asks José Parra Moyano, contributor to Leading the Sustainable Business Transformation: A Playbook from IMD and Professor of Digital Strategy at IMD Business School. "AI has the potential to revolutionize sustainability efforts by automating complex reporting, turning vast datasets into actionable insights, and streamlining compliance." However, he cautioned that innovation comes with challenges. "AI's energy and water demands are surging; Microsoft's 30% emissions increase tied to expanding AI offerings is a wake-up call. Leaders must champion 'green AI' by prioritizing energy-efficient algorithms, renewable-powered infrastructure, and optimization across AI life cycles." Beyond environmental impacts, Parra Moyano also addressed social implications. "AI threatens to displace jobs, particularly in vulnerable sectors. Tech leaders need to lead the charge on reskilling and upskilling initiatives, ensuring no one is left behind as industries transform." He framed 2025 as a pivotal year: "Tech leaders must commit to a bold resolution: ensuring AI accelerates sustainability rather than undermines it. By embedding responsibility into innovation, tech leaders have the power to ensure AI becomes a transformative force for good - delivering scalable, measurable impact while building a more inclusive and sustainable future." Keep pace with AI, but don't get swept up in new trends Jeremy Campbell is the CEO of Black Isle Group and the creator of Nudge.ai, an AI-powered platform designed to embed organisational learning more effectively. "My own New Year resolution is to try and keep pace with the rapidly evolving AI landscape while staying rooted in our core mission: developing technology that transforms 'learning into lasting habits'." Campbell explained his approach to maintaining this balance, warning against getting swept up in new trends: "With the pace of AI innovation accelerating, regular reflection is essential. I'll dedicate time each week to reviewing new platforms and breakthroughs to ensure our product roadmap focuses on advancements that enhance outcomes rather than just following trends." He also highlights the value of collaboration, saying "The last six months have shown incredible leaps in AI technology, from generative AI to adaptive learning platforms. Moving forward, it's clear that no single organisation can innovate in isolation. By participating in AI groups, networking events, and industry discussions, I aim to not only learn from others but also give back and share insights. Collaboration is the key." Go Easy On Yourself As a tech leader, it's easy to compare your company's success to others. "While there will always be another company growing 5 or 10x what you are, I think it pays to remember that building something worthwhile takes time," says Jono Hey, co-creator of Nutmeg and Zen Educate, and author and illustrator of Big Ideas Little Pictures. He recommends considering these words from Twitter co-founder Biz Stone: 'Timing, perseverance and ten years of trying will eventually make you seem like an overnight success.' "This is from someone who, from the outside view, achieved rapid, outsized success in the tech world. The path to success is often misrepresented. Most companies don't become unicorns, and most suc...

But Michael Watkins says they're also a time of incredible opportunity — especially for those leaders who understand how to handle this crucial period. Watkins is a professor of leadership and organizational change at IMD Business School. He shares a framework for selecting a transition strategy that best matches the situation you're facing — whether you're building a new operation from scratch or trying to turnaround a business in crisis. Watkins also explains why it's so important to effectively assess your new leadership context and not to rely only on transition strategies that have worked for you in the past.

Imagine you're leading a small organization, but you're struggling to recruit and afford the senior talent you need to grow. You could hire a part-time executive. So-called “fractional leadership” is common in startups and is spreading to other businesses and nonprofits. But while a fast-growing number of senior leaders seek this work arrangement, many companies are unsure of how to go about it. Tomoko Yokoi and Amy Bonsall are experts on the practice. Yokoi is a researcher at the TONOMUS Global Center for Digital and AI Transformation at IMD Business School. Bonsall is a former executive at IDEO and Old Navy who works as a part-time chief product officer with several organizations. They explain when and how fractional leadership works best—for the individual as well as the organization—and how to do it right. Yokoi and Bonsall wrote the HBR article “How Part-Time Senior Leaders Can Help Your Business.”

Neste episódio especial da quarta temporada do Metanoia Lab, patrocinado pela Oi Soluções, o Andrea (andreaiorio.com) analisa uma frase do Michael Watkins, autor do best-seller "The First 90 Days" e professor na IMD Business School, sobre a importância do reconhecimento de padrões como habilidade dos líderes. Neste episódio, o Andrea concorda apenas parcialmente com essa visão, mostrando que reconhecimento de padrões é algo que a IA já faz melhor - enquanto propões a habilidade de definir o problema como a verdadeira habilidade mais importante.

The Weekly Tradecast talks to Richard Baldwin – professor at IMD Business School and an expert on globalization – for his insights on the big economic shifts from manufacturing to services and what they mean for developing countries. Services have proven to be resilient to crises in recent years and are growing rapidly — offering opportunities to developing countries for growth in jobs, incomes, investment and trade. Tune in for more on these big shifts from Richard Baldwin, who the Financial Times calls "one of the most important thinkers in this era of global disruption".

The 2024 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the theme of ‘Back to the Future: A New Era of Managed Trade?'Digitally delivered services have experienced a four-fold increase in value since 2005 and now account for a significant share of all services exports. At a time of growing concern about the slowdown in global trade in goods, the boom in digital services trade is a comparative bright spot.But does this perception fully align with the reality? Are the pressures on the global trade system - such as geopolitics, the risk of trade fragmentation and non-tariff measures - really less disruptive of digital services trade than they are of trade in goods? How could the WTO help promote and protect digital trade and harmonise regulatory approaches to digital services? And what does a growth in digital services mean for development and inclusion?Panellists:        Richard Baldwin, Professor of International Economics, IMD Business SchoolJennifer Hillman, Professor of Practice, Georgetown University Law Center; Co-Director, Center for Inclusive Trade and Development (CITD)Emily Jones, Director of the Global Economic Governance programme, Blavatnik School of Government, University of OxfordJane Drake-Brockman, Executive Director, Australian Services InstituteModerator:      Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael InstituteThis podcast episode was recorded on 12 September 2024.___ The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the Aspen Institute Germany; CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations; Chatham House (UK); CITD - the Center on Inclusive Trade and Development at Georgetown University Law Center (US); the Clingendael Institute (The Netherlands); Elcano Royal Institute (Spain); ERIA – the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (Indonesia); ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies; the Jacques Delors Institute (France); RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (Japan); and the St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade (Switzerland).

While most good bosses try to be fair and balanced with their direct reports, it's only human to prefer the company and work styles of some team members over others, and employees are keenly aware of those preferences. They see favorites and non-favorites, ingroups and outgroups -- and when those divisions fester, they can destroy team culture and performance. Ginka Toegel, professor at IMD Business School, explains why even well-intentioned managers succumb to favoritism, how workers on both sides are affected, and what we can do to both avoid and rectify the problem. Toegel is the coauthor of the HBR article "Stop Playing Favorites."

On Today's Episode Mark brings back returning guest Chris Voss to talk Empathy and his new book. Tune in for more Chris Voss CEO, Founder, Instructor, and Keynote Speaker Chris used his many years of experience in international crises and high-stakes negotiations to develop a unique program that applies globally proven techniques to the business world. Prior to 2008, Chris was the lead international kidnapping negotiator for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as well as the FBI's hostage negotiation representative for the National Security Council's Hostage Working Group. During his career, he also represented the U.S. government as an expert in kidnapping at two international conferences sponsored by the G8. Before becoming the FBI's lead international kidnapping negotiator, Christopher served as the lead Crisis Negotiator for the New York City division of the FBI. Chris was a member of the New York City Joint Terrorist Task Force for 14 years. He was the case agent on TERRSTOP (Omar Abdel-Rahman/"The Blind Sheikh" case) and the TWA Flight 800 catastrophe. He also negotiated the surrender of the first hostage taker to give up in the Chase Manhattan Bank robbery. During Chris's 24-year tenure with the Bureau, he was trained in the art of negotiation by not only the FBI, but also Scotland Yard and Harvard Law School. He is also a recipient of the Attorney General's Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement and the FBI Agents Association Award for Distinguished and Exemplary Service. Chris has taught business negotiation in MBA programs as an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business, and at Georgetown University McDonough School of Business. He also taught business negotiation at Harvard University and guest lectured at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, the IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the Goethe Business School in Frankfurt, Germany. Since 2009, Chris has also worked with Insite Security as their Managing Director of the Kidnapping Resolution Practice. Chris's New Book Empathy and Understanding In Business In the business times of yesteryear, many did not believe that empathy and understanding mixed well with sound business decisions. However, with the more recent breed of entrepreneurs, many have increasingly recognized that successful and long-lasting relationships depend on using both empathy and understanding to build a solid foundation. The master of negotiation and Celebrity Expert(R) in this book, Chris Voss, reminds us that entrepreneurs want lasting relationships that build trust and clientele. He questions if anyone associates empathy with enterprise and entrepreneurism, and states that the qualities of trust and lasting relationships come out of understanding and respect for each other. In short, as stated by Brené Brown, "Empathy fuels connection." To learn more about negotiation and how the Celebrity Experts(R) herein have improved their negotiating skills, it would be beneficial to read about their accomplishments. They have honed their skills and can be great mentors. They will tell you what worked for them and what did not - saving you time, energy and cost of 'reinventing the wheel' - the path to success - in negotiating.

Today, I am pleased to welcome Peter Vogel, Professor of Family Business and Entrepreneurship and holder of the Debiopharm Chair for Family Philanthropy at IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland. He is also the Director of the Global Family Business Center and the Global Family Business Award and founder and Chairman of Delta Venture Partners and an Associate Partner of the Cambridge Family Enterprise Group. Peter works with families, owners, boards, and executives of family enterprises and family offices around the world, focusing on transformations, governance, ownership and leadership succession, entrepreneurship, wealth management, and establishing professional boards and leadership teams. Peter has dedicated his distinguished career to serving multigenerational enterprise families and he shares some of the major themes and most common challenges that families are facing, both historically and right now. Peter is the author of two celebrated books: Family Philanthropy Navigator and the recently published Family Office Navigator. He describes the purpose behind these books and how they are addressing the challenges confronting enterprising families today. For multigenerational families focused on either creating or operating their family office, Peter offers some of the practical tools and frameworks detailed in his new book. He unpacks the “Five Stone Model,” which is introduced early in the book, and explains the concept behind this model and how families should think about or apply it to their family enterprises. He also outlines the “Family Office Strategy House” framework, which serves as the backbone of several highly instructive chapters of his book, and delves into the practical aspects of this framework, covering what its uses are and how families and family office executives can utilize it to organize their thinking, design, and planning related to their family office. This is a must-hear conversation with one of the world's most renowned academics, practitioners, and thought leaders in the family business and family office space.

Few leaders have been trained to ask great questions. That might explain why they tend to be good at certain kinds of questions, and less effective at other kinds. Unfortunately, that hurts their ability to pursue strategic priorities. Arnaud Chevallier, strategy professor at IMD Business School, explains how leaders can break out of that rut and systematically ask five kinds of questions: investigative, speculative, productive, interpretive, and subjective. He shares real-life examples of how asking the right sort of question at a key time can unlock value and propel your organization. With his IMD colleagues Frédéric Dalsace and Jean-Louis Barsoux, Chevallier wrote the HBR article "The Art of Asking Smarter Questions."

In this episode, we're rethinking leadership with Nicholas Janni, author of “Leader As Healer” and teacher at IMD Business School and the University of Oxford Said Business School.

He shares how integrating emotional intelligence and deep personal connections can transform leadership effectiveness. Join us as Nicholas shares how embracing our whole selves helps businesses and the people who work in them can thrive together. If you enjoy the show, please rate it on  Apple or Spotify.

How fostering emotional openness and vulnerability can transform leadership effectiveness and workplace dynamics. Integrating meditative and somatic practices to elevate leaders' perceptual fields and empathy levels. The substantial business benefits of emotionally intelligent leadership, from engagement to profitability. The necessity of taking a leadership approach that prioritizes emotional authenticity for transformative change. How physical awareness and presence enhance leaders' decision-making capabilities and overall effectiveness. Creating organizational cultures that foster resilience and satisfaction. Nicholas' view on the greatest unmet wellbeing need at work today “Emotional the cultivation and welcoming of emotional authenticity. People being allowed to say how they're really feeling and being unconditionally met. There's nothing wrong with feeling frightened, sad. I think without that you'll never have well pay.” What "working with humans" means to Nicholas “It means working with the full spectrum of who we are. And most workplaces in my great, extensive experience, function on a very small spectrum of who we really are.” Resources Follow: Nicholas on LinkedIn Visit: Matrix Development website Read: Leader as Healer: A new paradigm for 21st-century leadership For more episodes that give you fresh perspectives and actionable ideas for making working with other humans better for everyone, visit our website at https://en.peoplefocusconsulting.com/resources/podcast/ ©Michael Glazer

Negotiation isn't about logic & reason. It's about emotional intelligence, explains former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss. Emotional intelligence and tactical empathy are key to successful negotiating, says former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss. He highlights the value of understanding and addressing the other party's emotional standpoint in both business and personal negotiations. By doing so, people can make better deals and foster long-term relationships. Voss emphasizes the importance of addressing people's fears and practicing tactical empathy through labeling. This approach involves identifying and acknowledging the emotions involved in the negotiation. By listening carefully and discerning the underlying motivations and concerns, negotiators can guide discussions more effectively and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. Being nice to others can often lead to surprising results, proving the power of empathy and understanding in negotiations. chapters for better navigation:- 0:00 What drives people? 1:18 Negotiation is NOT about logic 2:14 1.

Mohan Subramaniam is a Professor of Strategy and Digital Transformation at the IMD Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland. He focuses on the digital transformation of incumbent industrial firms and new sources of competitive advantage in the digital age. He is a recognized thought leader in digital strategy, and have helped senior executives in several companies find new sources of value and growth for their companies when competing with data within emerging digital ecosystems. He outlines his thinking in his 2022 book The Future of Competitive Strategy: Unleashing the Power of Data and Digital Ecosystems, where he introduces a new paradigm for competitive strategy anchored in data and digital ecosystems and the game-changing role of digital technologies in the modern economy. Legacy firms have for decades anchored their competitive strategy in products and industry characteristics, but these approaches are now becoming outdated. His book therefore explains how legacy firms can harness their existing assets, infrastructure, and traditional strengths to leverage the new and explosive power of data by thoughtfully applying and emulating the best practices of digital titans such as Amazon and Google.His articles regularly appear in Harvard Business Review and MIT Sloan Management Review. I have also published articles in several leading academic journals such as Strategic Management Journal, Academy of Management Journal, the Journal of Management, and the Journal of International Business Studies, and my research has been recognized by awards from Strategic Management Society, McKinsey Corporation, the Academy of Management, the Academy of International Business, and the Decision Sciences Institute. In this episode, Mohan shares:Why some of the long-prevailing concepts of competitive strategy, like Michael Porter's industry value chain, industry attractiveness (or five forces), and even the central paradigm of these approaches may have served us well for decades, but are increasingly becoming ineffectiveHow traditional legacy firms can harness their existing assets, infrastructure, and traditional strengths to be even more effective at the digital game than digital native giants like Amazon and Google Why the first step for such incumbent organizations should be to evolve your traditional customers to digital customers Why we should not just be thinking about ecosystems broadly, but about two specific—and different—ecosystems we need to create, and what they areWhy the idea that so many companies have of capturing and owning lots of data misses the point of what it means to win with data, in a world where the shelf-life value of the data you collect is getting shorter and shorter _________________________________________________________________________________________Episode Timeline:00:00—Highlight from today's episode01:02—Introducing Mohan + The topic of today's episode2:58—If you really know me, you know that...3:25—What is your definition of strategy?3:36—Could you talk to us about your thesis involving your ideas around Michael Porter's idea of competitive advantage?7:51—Why is competitive advantage less relevant today than it was 40 years ago when it was created?10:50—Can you explain how data has impacted our idea of customers, and how companies should make the transition from traditional customers to digital customers?13:06—Can you give an example of a physical product that is able to create continuous data and not episodic?15:11—Could you explain the differences between two different types of the two types of ecosystems you detail in your book?18:23—Could you explain how value chains have expanded to include complements outside of the traditional service and product offering?21:03—If we were to put production and consumption capabilities into a diagram (like an x and y-axis), how would you explain how the two interact and interplay?24:20—Could you illustrate your point of how products can deliver value outside of what its obvious value with the light bulb story?27:13—How should companies be thinking about the role of data given everything we've talked about today?

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Michael Watkins, best-selling author of The First 90 Days and Professor at IMD Business School, as we delved into the crucial importance of the first 90 days in leadership transitions. Michael's research indicates that by adopting a rigorous approach, leaders can reduce the time it takes to reach the breakeven point by approximately 50%, benefiting both themselves and their organizations. Additionally, we explored the significance of recognizing and navigating various types of transitions, including the often overlooked hidden transitions, which can greatly influence career development and overall success. _______________ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.
