The world of work is changing rapidly, and this swift pace of change is forcing employers to rethink the kind of talent they need within their organizations. Traits like curiosity, innovation, agility, flexibility, and problem-solving are now more in demand than ever.\n\nHowever, despite the desire to attract and retain individuals with these qualities, traditional recruiting processes can often repel them, and talent management strategies may overlook those who are already part of the organization. Retaining such high-value talent is also a significant challenge.\n\nSo, what do organizations need to do to hire and retain the change catalysts and innovators they seek more effectively? And how can they better identify those already in their workforce?\n\nMy guests this week are Tracey Lovejoy and Shannon Lucas from Catalyst Constellations. Tracey and Shannon define catalysts as the visionaries within an organization who quickly process information, translate it into actionable opportunities, and are relentless in driving positive change. They have a vast amount of insight to share with employers about identifying and nurturing catalysts and lots of advice for catalysts themselves around managing their careers and reducing burnout.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\xa0\n\nWhat is a catalyst, and what do they have in common\n\nSeeing risk differently\n\nIdentifying the catalysts in your business\n\nThe importance of organizational context\n\nRepurposing recruiting processes for diversity of thought\n\nNew ways of thinking about Talent Management\n\nBreaking down silos and getting stuff done\n\nWork trauma\n\nDealing with burnout\n\nWhat does the future of work look like?\n\n\nFollow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.
