Quick Win: The surprising upside of shorter tenure

from How I Work · host Amantha Imber

Long tenure sounds like a good thing - until it starts holding your business back. Here’s what I learned when I stopped treating it as a badge of honour. In this Quick Win, I’m joined again by clinical psychologist Sabina Read to unpack the hidden downside of long staff tenure. I share how high tenure at Inventium was quietly stalling innovation, what finally shifted my thinking, and why I now see shorter tenure as a healthy sign of growth.  Sabina and I discuss:  The hidden shadow side of long tenure  Why fresh thinking often gets ignored by legacy voices  How old experiences can kill new ideas before they start  Why newer team members often bring better solutions  A mindset shift that helped me reframe turnover  Key Quote “If it’s happening at Inventium, where we talk about innovation every day, it can happen anywhere.”  Listen to the full episode with Sabina here.  Connect with Sabina via her website, Instagram, or check out her podcast Human Cogs.  My latest book The Health Habit is out now.
