Portable Executive: Building Your Own Job Security - From Corporate Dependence to Self-Direction
Autor John A. Thompson, Catherine Henningsen Catharine A. Henningsenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 1996
Based on interviews with over 100 now-portable executives who were among the first casualties of downsizing, "The Portable Executive" explores the unlimited opportunities available to those who are independent, self-directed, and willing to work on a contract basis. It explains:
- How to make a smooth transition to becoming "portable"
- How to identify, continually update, and market your skills
- Why companies that downsize full-time employees are willing to hire executives on an as-needed basis
- How and why the relationship between employers and executives has changed from boss/worker to peer/peer
And much more -- including how to invent a business, what to charge clients, how to network, market, and sell yourself as a "personal service business entity," and, most important, how to enjoy a greater sense of creativity, satisfaction, and long-term job security than ever before.
