Jolted with Anthony Klotz
from Your Working Life Hosted by Caroline Dowd-Higgins
Anthony Klotz is a professor of organizational behavior at UCL School of Management in London, best known for predicting the pandemic-era labor shift he coined the "Great Resignation" — a term that became a defining phrase of modern work culture. His new book, Jolted: Why We Quit, When to Stay, and Why It Matters, explores how over half of all decisions to quit are triggered by a single unexpected event — a "jolt" — and identifies six distinct types of jolts, from negative workplace experiences to positive life milestones, that can upend our careers and priorities. Ultimately, Jolted offers readers a framework for responding to these disruptions more wisely, helping them distinguish when a jolt calls for a bold career change, a small adjustment, or simply staying the course — so that life's inevitable surprises move us toward greater fulfillment rather than away from it.
