Episode notes

The most important thing managers need to do initially is, as you say, connect the dots. Help people understand how what they're doing already contributes to purpose. Is it a matter of alining with a volunteer effort within the organization that imbus within some one's current role that greater sense of purpose? Or maybe even linking to the work that someone's doing outside of the work place and bringing that into our coaching conversations. The other side of any of this is not just what are you going to give, but what do you want to learn in the process? And who do you wants to learn from?"

What do you do when a promotion isn't an option? Maybe there aren’t enough positions to go around. It’s not the right moment in your career. Or maybe you don’t want the management responsibilities. In each case, you can feel stuck. But what if there were other options for career growth and development? That’s the case Julie Winkle Giulioni makes in her book, Promotions are So Yesterday: Redefine Career Development and Help Employees Thrive. In it, she shares seven areas for growth that leaders can develop in their organizations, teams, and individual employees. Julie’s insights offer a slate of new options to managers and individual contributors, each of which can have a positive impact on all areas of the organization. If you’re looking to meet employees where they are and modernize your organization in the process, Julie’s book is a terrific resource.
