Mapping Your Career Success: Managers Edition Written especially for managers, this book will help you develop your employees and mentees to reach their career ambitions-plus you can also use the process to further your own career. The first nine chapters were written to guide employees (and their mentors, coaches and managers) through the entire system. Those nine chapters are available as a separate book: Mapping Your Career Success. This Managers Edition contains the full text of the original book, followed by another four chapters designed to make you more effective in developing your employees. Created by pioneering executive Carol Evanoff, Career Gap Analysis helps anyone who uses it to understand why their career hasn't evolved exactly as they'd hoped. (Or even if they're doing well now, this book will show how to accelerate their success so they can reach whatever goals they set.) Readers learn to examine work history for clues to achievements-and failures. If you've ever wondered why you (or the people you supervise and mentor) were passed over for a promotion, this workbook can help you figure that out-and best of all-learn how to be better prepared for the next advancement opportunities. In this groundbreaking book you'll discover: How to wow selection panels How to document every facet of a career and make that an advantage Why ladders are wobbly and pyramids are perfect How to make optimal use of feedback Why you need nitpickers, fault finders and naysayers Secret tools for overcoming obstacles How to become the sort of employee everyone wants to hire How to envision-and attain-your greatest career possibilities As a leader and innovator in managing diverse groups of people, Carol Evanoff is uniquely qualified to lead people through the process of creating the career of their dreams-even if they haven't fully dreamed it yet. (She'll help with that part, too.) Along the way, readers will experience a growth in self-confidence as successes add up to a more fulfilling work life and beyond."
