Overview
You’re told to “manage” your career—but what does that really mean and how do you do it? Taking Charge of Your Career provides practical advice so you can secure opportunities, avoid the biggest career pitfalls, and set yourself up for long-term success
You have established yourself as someone who can be trusted and who delivers results. Now, you may be asking yourself what’s next in your career—but there’s never enough time to think about it. So many things can go wrong in every career, and some problems are outside your control.
How do you articulate your career aspirations without threatening your boss, and position yourself as a credible candidate when opportunities arise? Can you understand—and strategically shift—your professional brand and reputation?

Above all, what does it mean to manage your career?
The way you answer these questions greatly impacts your reputation and opportunities. Thankfully, in this book you’ll find real case studies, step-by-step exercises, and an extensive FAQ section answering all the questions you have at this point in your career. Drawing on decades of experience coaching senior leaders, Taking Charge of Your Career helps you avoid common missteps and accelerate your path to the type of career you dream about.
