The career is dead--long live the career

Alternate Titles

• Career is dead

Description

The career - a series of upward moves with steadily increasing income, power, status, and security - has become a relic of the past. Yet, as the authors of The Career Is Dead - Long Live the Career clearly demonstrate, if we redefine careers as a series of lifelong work experiences and personal learnings, the career will never die. In fifteen original chapters, experts in organizational behavior, career development, and organizational change show how the end of the old career contract has now made career security the responsibility of the individual. Through both research and their own extensive experience, the authors demonstrate that an individual's most important career resource is other people, and that the most significant source of learning and growth is found in relationships.
