Download or read book Your Next Move written by Michael D. Watkins and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Whether you're going for that promotion, looking to jump ship, or change careers entirely, Michael Watkins' Your Next Move is a book you'll want to read." So starts the positive review of Your Next Move on the influential 800 CEO Read website. It's true that all leaders--no matter how seasoned--need guidance through the professional changes that define a career. In fact, transitions into new roles are the crucibles in which leaders get their toughest tests, and they're the defining factor in professional careers today. Yet far too often, leaders fail to transition effectively into new roles. The resulting costs are high, for individual careers and for organizations. In Your Next Move, leadership-transition guru Watkins shows how you can survive and thrive in all the major transitions you will face during your career-including promotions, leading former peers, on-boarding into a new organization, making an international move, or turning around or realigning an organization. With real-life examples and case studies, Watkins illustrates the defining hurdles associated with each type of transition. He then provides the insights, strategies, and tools you'll need to accelerate through these crucial turning points and continue moving up in your career. The necessary complement to the author's bestselling guide The First 90 Days, which has been translated in more than 20 languages worldwide, Your Next Move offers the keen observations, tried-and-true management wisdom, and practical good sense Watkins is renowned for. It's a vital resource for any manager or executive seeking to maintain career momentum. To quote the reviewer from above: "It's not just about "moving" but about what happens when those actions are taken. Success or failure are the two options, and which option you emerge with will determine what happens going forward. Watkins' book definitely has the research and insight to equip you for the better of the two paths."

Book excerpt: Written by Harvard-trained ex-law firm partner Liz Brown, Life After Law: Finding Work You Love with the J.D. You Have provides specific, realistic, and honest advice on alternative careers for lawyers. Unlike generic career guides, Life After Law shows lawyers how to reframe their legal experience to their competitive advantage, no matter how long they have been in or out of practice, to find work they truly love. Brown herself moved from a high-powered partnership into an alternative career and draws from this experience, as well as that of dozens of former practicing attorneys, in the book. She acknowledges that changing careers is hard much harder than it was for most lawyers to get their first legal job after law school but it can ultimately be more fulfilling for many than a life in law. Life After Law offers an alternative framework and valuable analytic tools for potential careers to help launch lawyers into new fields and make them attractive hires for non-legal employers.

Everything about your law firm affects the most important asset that your law firm owns: the attorney/client relationship.

Download or read book Jd Advantage Jobs in Corporations written by Richard Lee Hermann and published by H Watson LLC. This book was released on 2017-04-10 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Build a legal career in one of the hottest 21st century employment arenas! In his 21st Century Legal Career Series, Richard L. Hermann researches, evaluates, and predicts where the employment opportunities are and will be for law graduates. Volume 12, JD Advantage Jobs in Corporations: Expanding the Legal Function, examines in detail the impressive range and growing diversity of JD Advantage jobs in corporations open to individuals with a law degree. As a rule, corporations do not hire new graduates for their in-house counsel offices. Instead, they favor lateral candidates with a few years of experience. What few law students realize is this should not deter them from including corporations in their job-search strategy. Since the late 1970s, U.S. companies have embarked on an expansion of their legal hiring to include thousands of attorneys who work in JD Advantage positions in corporate offices and roles other than their traditional, mainstream legal office(s). Volume 12 focuses on the corporate departments that hire a substantial number of law grads for JD Advantage positions including: Compliance, Due Diligence, Ethics, Risk Management, Technology Commercialization, Real Estate. Highlights include: - Why Are Corporate JD Advantage Jobs So Hot? - Selected JD Advantage Job Titles and Work Environments - A Look at JD Advantage-Heavy Industries - Positioning Yourself for a Corporate JD Advantage Job - What Do Corporate JD Advantage Jobs Pay? - Advance Notice of Corporate JD Advantage Opportunities - A Word About Nonprofit Corporations The demand for JD Advantage lawyers in U.S. corporations is escalating because of: Complexity. The world is not becoming simpler to understand and negotiate. Globalization. Interconnectedness across borders is the new normal. Technology. Innovation and its frequent consequence, "creative destruction," are increasing. Turmoil. Uncertainty and unpredictability have rocked the corporate comfort zone. Track Record. Company executives have come to realize the attorneys they hire for these law-related jobs are smart, analytical, articulate, and hard workers. Hermann shows candidates where to look for JD Advantage jobs in corporations based on the author's 30-plus years advising JDs who successfully transitioned from law school and mainstream law to JD Advantage positions.
