I Didn’t Want to Leave. I Just Wanted to Grow.

Today I discuss my personal journey of leaving prior jobs in search of greater fulfillment. I compare my experience to what I learned in 'Job Moves' by Bob Moesta, Ethan Bernstein, and Michael B. Horn, highlighting how people's motivations for staying in or leaving jobs often go beyond compensation and job features. This book deftly expands to the role of employers in fostering employee growth and satisfaction, the potential for flexible role designs in the workplace, and the benefits of understanding what truly excites and motivates employees.00:09 Personal Career Reflections02:53 Features vs. Experiences in Job Descriptions03:58 Common Beneath-the-Surface Push and Pull Factors05:38 The Importance of People Development07:30 Crafting a Role That Fits09:45 Building a Team Your Employees Want to Rehire13:40 Flexible Role Designs and the Future of Work16:38 Final Thoughts and Call to Action
