The Right – and Wrong – Stuff
How Brilliant Careers Are Made and Unmade
Recommendation
More than 50% of employees eventually have a “career derailment” when they get demoted or fired, or their careers flatline. They derail due to a lack of self-awareness, an inability to fix their blind spots or a misalignment with corporate culture. Executive Carter Cast illustrates employee behavioral problems in five archetypes. Cast has fun covering the “wrong stuff,” and listing each type’s potential reform. He shows you how to leverage the skills your firm needs, understand your motivation and become your own advocate.
