Robin Jarvis, Organisational Development

Robin Jarvis is a learning and organisational development specialist, with a particular focus on leadership development.  She has spent at least twenty years working in the world of high-tech, including the last nine years working at Dell. When we spoke, she was just in the process of starting a new job within a new field, the retail sector – a move that proved a point of conversation about Great Work.  In this interview we also talk about:

• How stepping into the unknown is a key part of Great Work – and a strategy for best managing that process
• Two reasons that stop Great Work from flourishing – and a tactic for counteracting those pressures
• Lessons from Dell and Disney in helping Great Work thrive
