Most people–and most businesses–try to avoid uncertainty, says today’s guest, Cary Sparrow. “They want to create predictability and they want to manage risk out.”

But in today’s world, uncertainty has become the houseguest that shows no signs of leaving–and that has deep implications for leaders who are trying to manage their careers.

In this episode, Cary joins Daniel and Peter to talk about how today’s leaders can successfully build careers in an uncertain marketplace. Cary is the founder and CEO of WageScape, the world's largest next-generation labor market intelligence platform, and has over thirty-five years of leadership experience spanning the US Navy, Willis Towers Watson, and Cargill.

Tune in to learn:

• The most important thing to know when evaluating your career
• What not to do in the midst of uncertainty
• Why inclusion still matters when considering the health of an organization

Uncertainty isn’t going anywhere, and leaders need to “learn how to thrive at a higher level of uncertainty,” says Cary. “Get used to being a little bit more uncomfortable.”
