Turn your bright sparks into shining lights
Today’s graduates will do 10 to 14 jobs by the time they’re 38. Given that it takes 20 months for a new graduate to deliver ‘average’ value and three months to find a new job, they’ll start looking for a new role just as they become competent in the current one.
There are four elements to getting a graduate up to speed faster and increasing the chances they’ll stay: give them credit for what they’re good at; accelerate their learning; equip them to manage their reputation with guile; and show how what they’re doing matters, to their career, the business and the world at large.
