Episode 4: Charles Handy - The benefits of the portfolio career

Irish author and philosopher specialising in organisational behaviour and management, Charles Handy has been rated among the Thinkers 50 as one of the most influential living management thinkers. Listeners might be familiar with his idea of the "portfolio career" and the "shamrock organisation" in which professional core workers, freelance workers and part-time/temporary routine workers each form one leaf of the "shamrock".

In this episode, Charles speaks with host Kevin Empey about the twists and turns - many fortunate - that led him to his overarching theory of management, and how he sees the evolutions in leadership playing out today.
