Change can come with breathtaking speed, leaving a company on the defensive and in financial trouble when it’s forced to catch up.
Gary Goldstick, Business person
Several years ago, there was an ad for Putnam Investments: “You think you understand the situation, but what you don’t understand is that the situation just changed.” Amen! When I think I’ve just got it, ‘got’ and ‘it’ both change. And, it’s scary!
When there’s a change most of us find a job or career book to find answers and encouragement. Most old-school job books provide life, career, or job road maps. Follow these steps and you’ll get to where you want to be. If you believe these principles and follow these practices, you’ll find a satisfying job and enjoy a substantial salary with guaranteed yearly increases. Get real!
George Bernard Shaw said that the world is populated by three kinds of people: 1. Those who make things happen; 2. Those to whom it happens; and 3. Those who wonder what happened?
Life Lesson Earned: If there’s one thing I want you to walk away from Working It: The Rules Have Changed is that it’s much better to be clued in rather than being clueless. And, I want you to be in the first Shaw category: 1. Those who make things happen.
