Complete life
by Buddy Hobart | Posted on November 10th, 2015
Sundays in my house are sacrosanct. It is time to unwind and prepare for the next week. A true day of rest, if you will. I hate to admit it, but Sunday nights are my TV veg out nights, too.
With that said, I was recently watching an episode of “The Good Wife.” In this episode, an experienced lawyer offered to mentor an up-and-coming associate. The associate was excited and quite flattered.
The new attorney, however, asked, “will this take much more time?” Dumbfounded, the experienced attorney simply did not understand the question. The young attorney wanted to know if this mentoring would add to her already 60-hour workweek.
Fast-forward in the episode and the experienced attorney concluded her new employee lacked ambition. The fact that her new employee had sacrificed her personal life for the past three years meant nothing to the senior attorney.
I nearly laughed out loud watching this episode. The challenges of attracting and retaining talent are now a part of our culture. They have even found their way into my Sunday night television viewing!
For this next generation of talent, it is important to have a complete life — not just a work life. Read the rest at the Solutions 21 Blog >
