Storytelling and the Workforce Narrative: The importance of why

Every year an estimated 1 billion people switch jobs worldwide. Is this a story about remote work, quiet quitting, talent and skill gaps—or some combination of all these? Whether you are a CEO building a team or a talented contributor who wants to feel more fulfilled, the essential question remains: what is work that’s worth doing in a life worth living? We’ll talk with Harvard's Michael Horn and Ethan Bernstein about the changing dynamics of the American workforce and the importance of building a narrative for leadership, insight, and growth.

A conversation based on a popular Harvard Business School course and research conducted with over a thousand professionals, Job Moves shows how the most
fulfilled people don’t just try to get hired; they build a story, consciously “hiring” their next job so that they can make progress in their lives and careers.
