Olivia Sharp, Partner in HR Practice at Eton Bridge Partners, has produced the Chief People Officer Pathway Report, a comprehensive set of findings based on research into the CPO role. She joined me on the podcast to discuss the outcomes and how we apply that to the world of HR and the future of work.
We discuss terminology and how HR titles can be a controversial subject.
We explore differences in internal/ external appointments, gender and geography.
We consider squiggly careers and routes into the CPO role.
Olivia shares her observations about career breaks becoming an opportunity for curiosity rather than judgement.
And we talk about the importance of sector experience and diversity of thought.
As usual, joining the dots came up and Olivia made the connection with ESG, mental health, wellbeing and performance.
Match-making and husbands also come up!
The over-arching message that I took from this conversation was the fact that there are no 'rules'. Individual people and organisations have to be clear about the specifics that are important to them, whether that's about gaps, energy, interests or strengths.
Data is vital. As a psychologist, I want to know what works, what doesn't, and most importantly, why. But organisations are becoming more interested in data too. Being able to hypothesise, analyse and test approaches in your unique context is essential. That's why I'm a fan of Leadership Labs - find out more here: Leadership and Manager Labs
