Book excerpt: A collection of 47 articles, this monograph addresses critical needs and promising practices in career development. The articles, written both by leaders and new comers in career development, offer extensive scholarship and new perspectives. The volume is divided into six sections: (1) Foundations Revisited; (2) Turbulence in Career Development: What Changes are Occurring in Career Development and Why?; (3) How Career Development is Responding to Different Client Populations; (4) Innovative Tools and Techniques That Maximize the Effectiveness of Career Development Interventions; (5) A Look to the Future of Career Development Programs and Practices; and (6) A Summing Up and a Leap to the Future. The span and depth of the essays portray the wide range of career transitions and the growing impermanence of careers themselves. Such transitions are viewed as a natural evolution and numerous strategies for changing jobs and for career development are provided here. Such disparate topics as transcultural career counseling, education reform, career needs of individuals with disabilities, personality disorders, global relocation, career development groups, ethics in career counseling, and a look to the future are covered. Each article furnishes a short bibliography while an appendix offers special resources available related to career development. (RJM)

Book excerpt: Taking the Leap: Managing Your Career in Turbulent Times…and Beyond answers the question on everyone's mind today: what does it take to successfully navigate your career in challenging times when jobs are tight, competition is fierce, markets are changing and technology is redefining how we work and network? Whether you are in the middle of your career or just starting out we all have at least one thing in common - we want to have a long and fulfilling career. Some of us might be waiting for things to return to “normal” but who knows what the new “normal” will be? As citizens of the world we are all finding out how closely our fortunes are tied together. The rules in the business world transform daily and sometimes it is hard to keep up with the pace of change. Taking the Leap can help you achieve your goals by focusing you on three critical areas: Personal Leadership, Change Management and Communication. Dr. Beth Banks Cohn and Ms. Roz Usheroff blend their complementary expertise – Cohn in change management and leadership development and Usheroff in communication and executive branding – to bring you career-boosting strategies along with activities and case examples that will benefit you at any stage of your career. As you read this book you will learn the essentials on:• How to brand yourself with tips and hands-on exercises so you can define, claim and improve your professional image• How to be a more influential leader and the ten traits that will get you there• How to thrive through a career change; and how to manage others through change including ten keys to change management and the ten myths of change leadership• How to “read” your workplace landscape and use office politics to your advantage• How to avoid common communication traps between genders, generations and cultures• How to master virtual communication and long-distance work relationships• How to leverage and improve your professional network. As you develop skills in these areas you will truly find yourself “taking the leap” in your career because you will be far ahead of any of your colleagues, not just in demonstrating leadership but in managing your career strategically.

No job is “fireproof, “but this book shows you how to be the type of employee who is valued far above others.Taking the Leap: Managing Your Career in Turbulent Times…and Beyond is a book meant to be used over and over again throughout your career.
Download or read book Career Turbulence written by Patricia Dietrich Zettek and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the nature and correlates of career change among MBA alumni. In order to accomplish this broad purpose five research questions were addressed. (1) To what extent do MBA alumni experience specific career transitions? (2) For those who experienced specific career transitions, what impact did those transitions have on their careers? (3) To what extent did MBA Alumni experience career turbulence? (4) To what extent did MBA alumni report an orientation toward self-directedness in regard to career management? (5) To what extent did the personal characteristics, contextual factors and an orientation toward self-directedness predict the career turbulence MBA alumni experienced? The study proposed Career Turbulence, a conceptual model that takes into consideration the vibrant and interesting career experiences that suggest a new normal in the American managerial career. A questionnaire was developed that included 14 items to measure the frequency of specific career transitions, 14 items to measure the impact of those transitions on the respondents' careers, nine items to measure career self-directedness, and ten items to collect demographic information. The survey was completed by 206 MBA alumni. The following primary findings resulted from this study: 1. Taking on additional responsibilities with no change in salary or title has become a common practice in the modern managerial career, and is rated as the highest producer of career turbulence. 2. Overall, career transitions were considered positive occurrences, even when the transitions themselves were rated less than positive. 3. Career turbulence is more a product of the number of transitions experienced than the self-reported impact of those transitions. 4. MBA alumni in this study reported a high degree of self-directedness in their career management behavior and attitudes.
Download or read book Career Development and Systems Theory written by Wendy Patton and published by Sense Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Systems Theory Framework was developed to produce a metatheoretical framework through which the contribution of all theories to our understanding of career behaviour could be recognised. In addition it emphasises the individual as the site for the integration of theory and practice. Its utility has become more broadly acknowledged through its application to a range of cultural groups and settings, qualitative assessment processes, career counselling, and multicultural career counselling. For these reasons, the STF is a very valuable addition to the field of career theory. In viewing the field of career theory as a system, open to changes and developments from within itself and through constantly interrelating with other systems, the STF and this book are adding to the pattern of knowledge and relationships within the career field. The contents of this book will be integrated within the field as representative of a shift in understanding existing relationships within and between theories. In the same way, each reader wilt integrate the contents of the book within their existing views about the current state of career theory and within their current theory-practice relationship.
