  Are you seeking more meaningful work? Have you been unfulfilled in a variety of jobs, organisations or careers and wondered why? Are you looking for ways to make your current job more meaningful? Or are you looking for work but are unclear how to get it right this time? Meaningful Work will unlock your unique path to career fulfilment. Based on world-first research, this book will help you define what meaningful work is for you, distilling it down into three key messages you can reflect upon for your own career. Learn how to get to the heart of what is meaningful for you, and how to use this to find contentment in your current or future role. The activities will further help you clarify and articulate how to find meaning in your work. You will also be inspired by the stories of people who have carved out meaningful careers. Some consciously pursued meaningful work, others took a more winding path of not settling until work felt right. These case studies will stimulate your thinking. They come from people with diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, and all have experiences you can learn from. People are reporting increasing levels of frustration in their careers, while work has become, simultaneously, our primary source of identity, significance and meaning. And artificial intelligence is changing the very nature of work. Understanding meaningful work will empower you to navigate these changing tides.

  Many people know the benefit of finding a sponsor—someone who goes beyond traditional mentorship to partner with a junior-level employee to help build their skills, advocate for them when opportunities arise, and open doors. But few realize that being a sponsor is just as important to career growth as finding one.According to new research from economist and thought leader Sylvia Ann Hewlett, senior executives who sponsor rising talent are 53 percent more likely to be promoted than those who don't. Similarly, middle-level managers who have proteges are 167 percent more likely to be given stretch assignments. Well-chosen proteges contribute stellar performance, steadfast loyalty, and capabilities that you, the sponsor, may lack, thus increasing how fast and how far you can go. But how do you find standout proteges, let alone develop them so that they're able to come through for you and your organization?This book has the answers you need. Combining powerful new data and rich examples drawn from in-depth interviews with leaders from companies such as Unilever, Aetna, Blizzard Entertainment, and EY, The Sponsor Effect provides a seven-step playbook for how you can become a successful sponsor.
