💡Today we were delighted to welcome Andrew Young, LSE’s Chief Operating Officer, to our BSc Operations Management Course for an insightful discussion on LSE’s operations. 🎤 In a fascinating interview, led by Dr Nayat Horozoglu, Assistant Professor (Education) of Management, Andrew covered a range of topics, including his journey to COO at LSE, his role and what he does, how operations at LSE aim for excellence, and where sustainability fits into LSE’s operations. By drawing back the curtain of LSE, Andrew provided real-world insights for our undergraduate students on the operation of a large organisation, and addressed questions directly from students on: ✅ How his role compares to that of a COO of a large corporation.  ✅ Specific LSE operations, such as timetabling, disability and wellbeing services, and sustainability initiatives. ✅ What the most challenging decision he has had to make in his role is. We are hugely grateful to Andrew for sharing some of his valuable time to come and speak to our students! #LSEManagement #PartofLSE

The popular saying, “Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life,” suggests that pursuing work based on your passion eliminates the potential drudgery of labour. This idea may have inspired many to pursue meaningful work, but empirical evidence on its validity has been scarce until now. A study by Shoshana Dobrow and Heather Kappes from LSE Department of Management and Professor Jennifer Tosti-Kharas sets out to test some of the fundamental assumptions inherent in advice as well as theory about experiencing a “calling” towards your work: https://ow.ly/U54H50Vba8X Do you find your work meaningful?
