Episode card for The Servant Leadership Podcast

Steven Crawford of InteraWorks on why work life balance is the wrong frame and what he calls life work synergy instead.


Steven tells Greg how he got promoted quickly by learning the next two roles while still doing his current one, starting as a receptionist in financial services making decisions in his head as he watched the loan officers and processors work. He also shares the turning point that came while sitting with his father in hospice, writing out what he loved and did not love about his job and what a role would look like with no title and no money attached. What was missing was pouring himself into people. He had reached global operations with 50,000 employees and a billion dollars in revenue, and resigned.


They also talk about owning your calendar instead of treating the inbox as a to do list, why younger workers want their purpose to match their employer's purpose, and how to be a change catalyst when a company's stated values and daily practice do not line up.
