Firstly, good career managers must have a clear appreciation of the mix of values, skills and shortcomings which drive them as managers. Smart Moves shows that while this may be instinctive there are basic principles which can be applied by anyone and at all levels.
Good career managers must also be able to interpret the corporate culture. Golzen and Garner describe, from extensive research and interviews, how organizations (and individuals) have different values at different stages of their development. These cultural differences can have a significant impact on individual careers and this book shows how to survive the culture shock that can accompany a career move. At the same time, it provides a fascinating analysis of the way organizations, usually unintentionally, tell the truth about what they are like to work in, even to outsiders.
This book is a practical examination of the choices that all employees make in their careers and the obstacles they must overcome. Smart Moves recognizes that in the flatter organizations of the nineties career strategies will have to be built over the long term. By making smart moves both within and between organizations, managers can learn to maximize their opportunities at the same time as making real and lasting contributions to their organizations. Vissza
