Two Heads are Better than One: The Case for Job-sharing Leadership | Annelies Look and Chris White-Horne
How complementary strengths create a powerful leadership dynamic.
In this inspiring episode, we enter the unique world of job sharing with Annelies Look and Chris White-Horne, who together hold the role of Deputy CEO and Chief Delivery Officer at the UK Space Agency.
They share how job sharing in such high-level roles has transformed their work-life balance, allowing them to pursue professional excellence while maintaining a healthy personal life. Chris and Annelies reveal how their complementary strengths, likened to a Venn diagram, create a powerful leadership dynamic, where collaboration leads to better decision-making and greater resilience.
Key takeaways:
• Collective Intelligence: Two leaders working together means combining diverse skills and perspectives to offer more than one person ever could.
• Work-Life Balance: Job sharing has allowed both to avoid burnout, maintain other passions, and refresh their thinking.
• Retention: The government, by being flexible in the structuring of roles, has retained skills and expertise that might otherwise have been lost.
