Episode 41. Rethinking Leadership Through Job Sharing


Listen Later

What if some of our most senior leadership roles were designed differently?

In this episode of Jobshare Stories, we speak with Tessa Griffiths and Sarah MacLean, who are the Co-CEOs of Skills England, having jobshared together in a multitude of roles for over 18 years.  Our conversation shines a light on jobsharing at the very top and why it might be one of the most powerful, and underused, leadership models we have.
We talk about:
🔹 How senior jobsharing strengthens decision-making and performance
🔹 The role it plays in building leadership resilience, especially in high-pressure roles
🔹 Why shared leadership can help prevent burnout and create more sustainable careers
🔹 How flexible models like jobsharing can keep more talented people in work, including those with caring responsibilities or complex lives
This conversation challenges long-held assumptions about what leadership “should” look like and makes the case for designing roles around outcomes, not presenteeism.
If you’re interested in the future of work, inclusive leadership, and practical ways to retain and unlock talent, this one’s for you.
