#037 Finding purpose at work with Dean Tong How to Live
-
- Business
Many of us spend Monday to Friday waiting for the weekend. We’ve normalised this way of living - 2 days of happiness. 5 days of drudgery. How can we reverse this and make work more meaningful? That’s the focus of this episode.
We have with us Banker, ex- BCG Partner. Dean Tong. Dean is the MD and Head of Group HR & Transformation at UOB Bank Singapore. Prior to this, he was Partner & MD at the Boston Consulting Group, where he spent over 20 years. Dean went to Wharton Business School for his MBA.
After acing his career in a sought after consulting firm, Dean did what many of us dream to do. He retired early - after only 22 years of work - when he was in his 40s. He decided to pursue other interests like a Phd, teach and live a holistic life.
However his plans got disrupted when a great opportunity came knocking with a company he admired and very knew. The CEO of UOB Bank had an exciting proposition for Dean. It was a very tough decision but Dean came out of retirement and took the job.
We talk to Dean about
