The Proactive Executive

THE “GREAT RESIGNATION”…OR GREAT MIS-STEP??

As a result of the pandemic much has been written about "The Great Resignation". There is danger in quickly accepting such mass resignation headlines as motivation for a job or career transition. Pandemic fatigued executives and professionals have fallen into the trap of making career moves that are reactive to recent stresses and not properly thought out. The likelihood of these career mis-steps occurring is substantially greater when professionals lack sufficient practical understanding about effective career management. Effective career management is the result of two primary components: 1.) understanding the dynamics of the talent market, then building and positioning your professional profile, experience and skill sets in a meaningful and differentiated manner and; 2.) pursuing and securing the right opportunities. Seems simple...if you understand how to do it. THE PROACTIVE EXECUTIVE provides a clear, practical and impactful "success formula" distilled from the author's successful 30 year career in top level executive search, guiding over 5,000 professionals at critical junctures in their careers. The most frequently cited reader comment regarding this down to earth book is, "I wish I'd read this years ago!" (see Amazon reader reviews). THE PROACTIVE EXECUTIVE is a timely and invaluable holiday gift for friends, colleagues, sons and daughters considering an job or career change.
