THE CHANGING CONCEPT OF CAREER
Tri-Sector Leaders:
individuals who are able to
bridge the differences that separate government, business, and
not-for-profit sectors
develop more holistic and sustainable
solutions
paths to tri-sector leaderships varies
What Tri-Sector Leaders Do Well:
balance competing motives
acquire transferable skills
develop contextual analysis
forge an intellectual thread
build integrated networks
maintain a prepared mind
How To Develop More Tri-Sector Leaders:
need "frictionless participation"
friction between the sectors is high
not possible or desirable to eliminate all cultural and structural barriers between sectors
must find ways to help individuals of goodwill build careers that will lead them to address the world's most difficult problems
need to take a life-cycle approach
Employer-Employee Compact
Traditional
Stable
Predictable Career Trajectories
Life-time employment & loyalty
Low Employee Turnover
Contemporary
Employees encouraged to think as ‘free agents’ in charge of their own destiny and therefore, employability
Winner take all mentality
Rapid unpredictable change – volatile
Lack of job security and performance-driven culture results in more adaptable and entrepreneurial employees
However, the most adaptable and entrepreneurial talent constantly seek greener pastures elsewhere, making employee retention extremely difficult
The Need for a New Compact
From an employee point of view, the focus should be on improving adaptability and entrepreneurial thinking
From an employer point of view, the focus should be on how to develop a win-win relationship (i.e. an alliance) with employees, even if it means that they will inevitably leave for opportunities elsewhere
Need to acknowledge that life-time employment nor loyalty are realistic in the 21st century
Both employers and employees should seek to be ‘allies’ – An employee invests in the employer’s adaptability, the employer invest in the employee’s employability
Strategies to develop a employer-employee compact
Engaging beyond the employers boundaries
becoming apart of the alumni network
Establish a tour of duty
investigate net work intellignece in regard to potential employers (support network intelligence if supported)
