In this episode of Talent Talk, Becca O'Toole joins Adair Minteer, Sr. HR Business Partner at Textron Aviation, to dismantle the myth of work-life balance. Adair introduces the "Glass vs. Plastic Ball" analogy—a powerful framework for leaders and working parents to identify which priorities can bounce back and which will shatter if dropped.
They also dive into why "Strategic Workforce Planning" is the most critical tool for modern HR, moving beyond spreadsheets to build genuine bench strength from the shop floor to the C-suite.
Key Takeaways:
- The Juggling Act: How to prioritize critical "glass" tasks over resilient "plastic" ones.
- Human-First Leadership: Transitioning from policy enforcement to being a true business partner.
- Strategic Planning: Techniques for identifying talent gaps and future-proofing your team.
- Measuring Success: Balancing quantitative data with qualitative employee sentiment.
