The most unlikely companies may be your most promising prospects.

Leadership is often seen as something that is connected to a top-down hierarchy. This is a logical way of looking at leadership; after all, we often use the term leadership to reflect this. A CEO leads a company, a prime minister leads the cabinet, an officer leads the troops. The way we use words, creates the way we perceive its meaning. However, there is more to leadership than just the hierarchical way of leading.
I’ve amassed a ton of photos from family trips when my kids were little. We uncovered some albums recently and sat down together to revisit happy memories. We found pictures of a trip to Amsterdam and I recalled the canals, the flowers and the fabulous Van Gogh museum. My son remembered it differently. He loved the trip because he got to eat chips out of a cone, served with mayonnaise instead of ketchup.

This is a guest blog written by Laura Hughes-Onslow from The Sutton Trust and Lila Dowie from Demelza Hospice Care for Children. Last September, I closed my laptop ahead of starting maternity leave, certain there would be very little to connect my day job working with corporate partners and my year ahead raising a tiny human.

A simultaneous surge of mass layoffs and unprecedented job growth in the United States has created a confusing, complex climate for companies.
