    When Your Work Isn't Your Dream Role

    When Your Job Isn't Your Dream Job 3 Sep 2024 --- “Dream jobs” are often idealized, but in reality, finding a job that aligns with your purpose, values, and goals is incredibly difficult. This is especially true during times of uncertainty or crisis — when our priorities inevitably shift. Even so, many of us can be hard on ourselves or get demotivated searching for the perfect role. In these moments, it’s important to remember that we first need to meet our basic needs before we can gain the energy and drive we need to reach our higher-level goals. Accepting your current circumstances and focusing on “right now” doesn’t make you a failure. The first step towards obtaining what you want in the future is taking care of yourself in the present.

    How Leadership Skills Can Help You Become a Better Parent

    Here’s How Leadership Skills Can Help You Parent Better 2 Apr 2021 --- People know that good leadership includes clarifying your values, talking to stakeholders, and sharing a vision. All of that also makes a great parent, and there's no reason to leave it in the workplace, say Stewart Friedman and Alyssa Westring, co-authors of "Parents Who Lead". 00:00 Nobody wants to see themselves as the parent that’s just nit-picking 00:30 Why are we good leaders at work, but forget it all at home? 01:05 We know what good leadership looks like: you ask, you listen. 01:26 Step 1 to better parenting: Figure out your own values and motives. 02:07 Step 2 to better parenting: Share those values with stakeholders (i.e., your kids). 03:06 Step 3 to better parenting: Ask you kids what they think, and what they need. 04:35 Your kids’ answers will undoubtedly surprise and enlighten you. 06:17 It might seem weird, but these work skills can lead to better relations at home. If you liked this video, be sure to also check out HBR's new podcast series, "Family Management": https://hbr.org/podcast/2021/03/introducing-a-pick-me-up-for-moms-and-dads The show is a pick-me-up for exhausted moms and dads. Over four episodes, hosts Kevin Evers and Erica Truxler will make listeners laugh by recounting the latest drama at their homes, illustrating stories with snippets of sound from their children. And they’ll keep spirits up and careers advancing by weaving in (self-)management insights that strengthen self-compassion and resilience. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.
