The authors of this book are Brian and featherstone Hogg. The subtitle of this book is how to plan the three stages of your career.

Now I will share my excerpts as follows:

First, the characteristics of the three stages of career

The duration of a career is surprisingly long, including three distinct stages.

The first stage is a strong start. Your professional efforts must focus on excavating and equipping yourself to prepare for the long road ahead. Your learning curve is more important than your position and title. Lay a good foundation for your career and establish good early habits.

In the second stage, the focus is on the long board. The primary goal of this stage is to find your own sweet spot, that is, the intersection of what you are good at, what you love and what the world needs. At this time, you should show yourself, make yourself stand out, and strive to walk on the most rewarding career path. You should focus on your long board and ignore your short board.

The third stage is devoted to achieving lasting influence and finding a new sustainable career path, which can continue steadily into the sixties or even seventies. Three key tasks: completing the succession plan, maintaining the relevance, and lighting a new career fire for yourself.

That is, the first stage: come on, make a strong start; The second stage: focus on the long board and reach the high point; The third stage: optimize the long tail and continue to exert influence.

Second, five things to build a career

Three sources of workplace fuel: transferable skills, meaningful experiences and lasting relationships.

3. Career needs to be established through clever investment in time.

4. Career will not develop in a linear or predictable way.

Career is far more than work, but a big part of life.

Third, reserve three major workplace fuels.

Fuel 1, transportable skills: problem solving ability, persuasion and communication ability, task completion ability (including talent attraction), help and help-seeking ability.

Seven. continuing education

You need to determine what special value academic education will bring to your career and think about whether it can:

Increase transferable skills that you don't currently have?

Help you rediscover yourself and change your career direction?

Establish new interpersonal relationships and expand the professional ecosystem?

Get an important certificate that you don't have at present?

Accelerate your own exploration, that is, through practice to verify what you are really good at and love?

1) Smarter than you every week.

2) You have a chance to fail.

Leaders should pay attention to your cruising altitude.

Six suggestions for the new manager.

1) Your appearance, attitude and behavior are being highly concerned and widely imitated.

2) Once a vision is set, it should be expressed concisely and repeated over and over again.

3) Decide who to put on the boat early. (Select team members as soon as possible)

4) Every meaningful business problem is solved by several people in a quiet small conference room (the core team studies and solves the problem).

5) You should act like a trustworthy answer, not a boss above you.

6) You don't know everything.

XI。 Professional value evaluation:

Learning: Am I accumulating new skills, experiences and relationships that will help me grow?

Impact: Am I changing my company or even the whole society?

Fun: Can my career bring positive energy and fun to my life?

Reward: Am I accumulating economic value?

Twelve, five things you need to know to deal with the workplace crisis.

1) The first step in dealing with the workplace crisis is to understand the problem clearly and objectively.

2) Sometimes, the workplace crisis may be due to others' misunderstanding of your skills, goals or career continuity.

3) In other cases, your shortcomings may be not only cognitive, but also real.

4) Some workplace crises can be foreseen and avoided.

5) No matter whether your workplace crisis is unpredictable or predictable, you need ways to recover quickly from adversity.

Thirteen, the significance of the return to start again

Reorganize your experience so that it is closely related to the future rather than the past.

Repackage old, outdated or unskilled. In the new professional environment, you can't hide your motives.

Reconnect the occupational dust system. Maybe you need to build new relationships with contacts, expert groups, key colleagues and supporters to push yourself forward.

Re-establish self-confidence and talk to people who support you and understand you, and reflect on your own long board and the special contributions you have made in the past few years. Be brave to break in.
