Thrive!
In this book, eight individuals gather to spend a week at a lodge in the woods. The host, Professor James Mo, asks each of them to share their career journeys. After each individual shares their story, Professor James Mo explains the theoretical framework underlying their story—that is, the concepts and principles that contributed to the success of the individual. He then outlines the steps one could take to enhance their own success. Each story describes a pathway to success. This book then illustrates eight pathways to success, while acknowledging the existence of other pathways. Depending on your career circumstances, you could use one of these pathways or a combination of pathways to achieve your own success. To be clear, success means different things to different people. For example, indicators of success might include reducing work stress, ensuring a fair workplace, enhancing workplace diversity, achieving psychological well-being, turning a boring job into an exciting and meaningful job, securing an excellent performance evaluation, obtaining a significant pay raise or a promotion, or moving up the corporate ladder. In addition, our definition of success will change as our careers evolve. For instance, a young professional might consider obtaining a promotion accompanied by a sizeable pay raise success, whereas a seasoned professional might consider managing to reduce work stress and achieving psychological well-being success.
