How to Get Ahead in Your Career: How To Stop Yourself From Making Moves Which Will Limit Your Career by Dueep Jyot Singh,John Davidson Pdf

Table of Contents Introduction Proving your worth in the initial stages Know Your Place Whine Whine Whine… Being Chronically Late Bottom line for bosses – Getting the Most Out Of Your Employees Facing A Different Culture Behavior in Public Culture Clashes and Prejudices Vacation Time – I Want My Vacation Now! Continuous Sick Leave Volunteering for Extra Work Job Hopping Personal Relationships in the Workplace Trying to Tackle Personal Time during Company Time Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Some days ago, another management professional colleague asked me why I would want to write a book upon how to get ahead in your career, because everybody who was sensible and was professional enough to think about how best he could advance in his career knew the first three basic steps so well loved by every boss – take the long hours, the hard work and the tasks which other people think impossible as a challenge, especially in the beginning of your career. Within a couple of years, all of this will be a part of your working habits and ethos. As this book has been written for a global audience. I will take both the Eastern and the Western work traditions, ethics, working conditions and atmospheres into consideration. Also, there are a large number of factors, and moves which may limit your career, of which you do not know, and have not guessed. So if you do not intend to have your career blow up in a tremendous boom, taking your future along with it, it is time that you start getting serious about how to advance your career, without making any moves which will limit it. When you read this book, you may say, why it looks like I am talking more about American work cultures, but then as this book is for a global audience, and I am talking of what I speak, American work cultures, French, British, Australian, and Asian work cultures and working environments, I have all of these to compare and to bring to your attention. Also, you may say that I may have digressed sometimes, on topics, which are according to you, nothing to do with your career, but I am talking about social norms, cultures and traditions in those examples. They are just for general knowledge, and possibly as cautionary tales about things you do not do, especially when you have taken up a job abroad, far away from your own country and in a strange culture away from your own land.

Midlife by Kieran Setiya Pdf

Philosophical wisdom and practical advice for overcoming the problems of middle age How can you reconcile yourself with the lives you will never lead, with possibilities foreclosed, and with nostalgia for lost youth? How can you accept the failings of the past, the sense of futility in the tasks that consume the present, and the prospect of death that blights the future? In this self-help book with a difference, Kieran Setiya confronts the inevitable challenges of adulthood and middle age, showing how philosophy can help you thrive. You will learn why missing out might be a good thing, how options are overrated, and when you should be glad you made a mistake. You will be introduced to philosophical consolations for mortality. And you will learn what it would mean to live in the present, how it could solve your midlife crisis, and why meditation helps. Ranging from Aristotle, Schopenhauer, and John Stuart Mill to Virginia Woolf and Simone de Beauvoir, as well as drawing on Setiya’s own experience, Midlife combines imaginative ideas, surprising insights, and practical advice. Writing with wisdom and wit, Setiya makes a wry but passionate case for philosophy as a guide to life.

Ask a Manager by Alison Green Pdf

From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Midlife—the time you spend between the ages of thirty-five and fifty-five—is a critical juncture in anyone’s career and life. And yet these tend to be neglected decades.

Talent in Action by Georges Anthoon Pdf

This is the perfect book to turn your career and your life into a success. Every active professional, whether just graduated or in the middle or at the end of his career, needs to have this book on his or her bedside table. It is quite unique that an active manager and staff director delves into his personal font of wisdom and gives away all his secrets and tricks. Georges Anthoon hands out tactics and strategies to steer your career into the direction that you yourself want. He warns for pitfalls and risks and showers you with countless tips and tricks to avoid misfortune. At the same time he explains how you can avoid stress at work and how private happiness and professional success can be matched. Thanks to an abundance of personal stories complete with testimonies of colleagues this book will not bore you for one second. Georges Anthoon gives you the chance to have a peek into an experienced HR-manager's head. His approach is surprisingly original, every bit of information a source of enrichment. The feelgood@work and feelgood@life toolboxes should encourage you to get going yourself. Two chapters have been written for specific target groups: executives or people managers, and ambitious high-potentials. Georges Anthoon is a director of Human Resources, Intern Communication and Building & Facilities at AXA Belgium, a function he also used to have at Belgacom, Coopers & Lybrand, Shell and AIB-Vinçotte. He also teaches Human Resources, Intern Communication and Change Management at the Vlerick Management School, UAMS Management School and EHSAL. In 2001 he received the HR Manager of the Year Award. 'All in all a no-nonsense book. Interesting for everyone who wants to balance his professional and personal life based on realistic goals, action plans and priorities, rather than just wait and see.' Westlandsche Courant 'Talent in action is an outstandingly entertaining book, that's the least we can say. The fact is that author Georges Anthoon draws from his own experience and motives. He interlaces his story with lots of 'asides', illustrative anecdotes of colleagues, staff members, friends. All this makes it a pleasure to read.' HR Magazine
