Season 2 Episode 8 "Straight paths are boring (and unrealistic)‪"‬ It's Not Personal

    • Management

In this episode Ken and Seth talk about the value of accepting that a career does not have to follow a straight path. Perhaps, it's even better if it doesn't. Ken shares how many of the successful people he works with in IT don't even have a computer science background. As a leader, you can provoke your team to think different about their own career path and how they might be able to support people to discover their talents. Whenever we think that careers have to go in a specific direction, we might be limiting ourselves from seeing opportunities as they appear.
