    Episode 39 - The Secret to Jobshare Success - Clear Rules, Shared Trust.

    In the latest episode of the podcast, We spoke with Monique Kent and Simon Oliver, who job share the Head of Communications role at Imperial War Museums. Together they lead a major national organisation across five sites, manage a large team, and handle everything from long-term strategy to crisis communications. This partnership came together following Monique’s return from parental leave with Simon having covered the role full time during this period and then suggesting this set up during the handover on her return.  Having shared on a traditional 3+3 basis for a significant period of time, they now operate a 3+5 model with Simon flexing up to work on strategic priorities on 2 of the days. A few key takeaways from the conversation: 🔹 Clarity is essential – job sharing only works when there’s a clear system that everyone understands 🔹 Trust is non-negotiable – backing each other’s decisions is fundamental 🔹 Boundaries matter – knowing when to step back is just as important as knowing when to step in 🔹 Different strengths are an advantage – complementary skills can create better outcomes than a single “all-rounder” 🔹 Job sharing builds resilience – for individuals and organisations Their story is a powerful reminder that flexibility at senior levels isn’t about lowering the bar, it’s about designing roles in a way that keeps great people, improves decision-making, and supports sustainable careers. If you’re curious about job sharing, returning to work after parental leave, or rethinking how leadership roles are structured, this episode is well worth a listen.  If you want to find out about how jobsharing can benefit your organisation, please visit  www.TheJobshareRevolution.co.uk  or find us on LinkedIn or Instagram @TheJobshareRevolution

    Episode 36 - Leadership amplified: Driving resilient and empowered organisations through Co-Leadership with Kate Muhwezi and Alex Kent

    Kate Muhwezi and Alex Kent have been Co-CEOs at Restless Development since 2021.  Brought together at a pivotal moment, Kate and Alex combine their distinct strengths — one a campaigning leader, the other an operational expert — to cover multiple executive roles with less than two full-time equivalents. Their approach shows that leadership can be both collaborative and strategically efficient. At the heart of their model is feminist leadership — a commitment to power-sharing, collective decision-making, and creating space for more voices at the table. This shift has inspired cultural change across Restless Development, with more teams exploring shared leadership and more people seeing senior roles as accessible to them. in this episode, they talk about how leading together has enabled stability and resilience in the leadership of the organisation, how embracing feminist leadership has enabled collective empowerment at all levels of the organisation and how co-leadership has enabled their path to executive leadership supporting the cross fertilisation of their skills across their partnership.

    Episode 35: Jobsharing evolved - creating a jobshare that's right for you, right for your jobshare partner and right for the organisation with Nick Nugent from JP Morgan

    Nick Nugent is blazing a trail at JP Morgan. As one of the first men to jobshare at the firm, he has led the way on opening up jobsharing and showing the power of part-time working to enable men (and women) to work in a way that works for them. Jobsharing has created a great way for JP Morgan to manage succession planning, retain skills and experience, whilst enabling two brilliant individuals to work part-time. Its a great example of how jobsharing can take many forms and finding a solution that works for you, your partner and your organisation is the secret to jobsharing success. Nick also talks passionately about the need to tackle the stigma around men working part-time and how being loud and proud of your working pattern is essential.  It's a fascinating listen, exploring Nick's journey from Army Officer to JP Morgan Resiliency Manager - and the power of jobsharing to create organisational resiliency.    To find out more about jobsharing, visit www.TheJobshareRevolution.co.uk #Jobshare #SuccessionPair #IntergenerationalShare #FlexibleWorkingWorks
