Who can resist it? The temptation to drop everything you’re working on in order to fulfil another task you’ve literally just remembered. Sure, you’re in the middle of doing something else – but what about that email you totally forgot to reply to? In the moment, this new task takes priority, especially when you’re worried you’ll only forget again otherwise.

For decades, a desire to climb the ‘corporate ladder’ has driven employees to work hard and fight for promotion. But it seems this tradition is being replaced. Driven by Gen Zs and Millennials, organisations are finding that some junior employees are actively deprioritising their career growth for a more desirable work/life balance and even ‘descending the corporate ladder’.

The only positive aspect of the increase in cases of stress during the past decade is that people are at least talking about them. Conversations about stress and mental health have moved out of the shadows and into the light.

We have many problems in the sustainability industry. I remember the days when finding data was like going on a scavenger hunt that often resulted in nothing.

There is often the expectation that first-time CEOs will come pre-loaded with all the necessary experience and skills required for the job because they have typically had a successful career to date.
