Who's Managing Your Career?
"If you're not managing your career, nobody is."
That's one of the most powerful lessons Michael Tucker shares in this episode of This Conversation Matters.
After leading legal departments for Fortune 500 companies including GE, Avis Budget Group, Tyco International and Signant Health, Michael has spent decades building not only his own career, but the careers of countless others. In this conversation, he explains why no employer will ever care about your professional growth as much as you should—and why mentorship, sponsorship and intentional career planning can change the course of a life.
Whether you're early in your career, leading a team, or preparing for your next opportunity, Michael's conversation with host Sheree Curry offers practical advice on taking ownership of your future while helping others succeed along the way.
