New ways of thinking and working
Secondees are immersed in new ways of
thinking and working that challenge and change
them. They develop or enhance ‘soft’ skills linked
to greater intercultural and emotional intelligence.
These include greater tolerance of ambiguity,
greater flexibility, adaptability, self-awareness,
resilience, self-confidence, influencing and
negotiation, and more effective communication
skills. This supports career growth and
leadership effectiveness, especially when an
organisation explicitly aligns the Jawun program
with its people and talent development. It can
also support motivation and engagement within
the workplace.
