Business Masterminds: Charles Handy $1.99 Social philosopher Charles Handy is widely regarded as the chief prophet of the modern workplace. Many of his predictions have already come true, including the decline of the traditional organization and job, and the emergence of the portfolio career. In this fascinating volume, Robert Heller reveals the key ideas shaping Charles Handy’s radical approach to business management, and presents a series of masterclasses that show how to apply his unique insights. Explore Handy’s views on: seeing businesses as communities, the four gods of organizational culture, challenging dogma, making groups work, living by the “doughnut principle”, the benefits of a horizontal career, and curing role stress.Supplying lessons from today’s most celebrated and successful business thinkers, the Business Masterminds series is perfect for people hoping to advance their careers, make their own businesses grow and prosper, or achieve personal goals. In addition to providing overviews of each leader’s most influential writings and speeches, each title is packed with full-color charts, diagrams, and photographs that graphically illustrate complex concepts. Author Biography: Robert Heller is himself a prolific author of management books. The first, The Naked Manager, published in 1972, established Heller as an iconoclastic, wide-ranging guide to managerial excellence — and incompetence. Heller has drawn on the extensive knowledge of managers and management that he acquired as the founding editor of Management Today, Britain’s premier business magazine, which he headed for 25 years. Books such as The Supermanagers and In Search of European Excellence address the ways in which the latest ideas on change, quality, and motivation are providing new routes to business success. In 1990 Heller wrote Culture Shock, one of the first books to describe how IT would revolutionize management. Since then, as writer, lecturer, and consultant, Heller has continued to tell managers how |

Land the Tech Job You Love (Pragmatic Life Series) $14.62 As a techie, you’re a special breed, with special challenges facing you in the job search. Your competition is smart, tech-savvy, and highly resourceful. Expectations among employers are higher. Your competition will run you over if you’re not up to the challenge. Land the Tech Job You Love gives you the background, the skills, and the hard-won wisdom to bypass the mistakes of those who don’t prepare. You might not think you need this book. Conventional Wisdom has it that finding a job is simple: send some resumes, go on some interviews, and take the offer that sounds best. But that’s only the start. You’ve got the background and skills to work the Web and other resources that the general job seeker doesn’t. This book shows you how to take advantage of those skills or be left behind by competing techies who do. It all starts with an examination of you, your strengths, and where you want your career to take you. Without a roadmap, you’ll wind up in any old job. Life’s too short to spend in a job that you don’t love. From there, you’ll see how to find the job you want that fits you and the employer, using your technical and web savvy to find the hidden jobs that never make it into the classifieds or Monster. “Marketing” is not a dirty word, and you’ll learn how to present yourself, your skills, and your background in the way that shows the hiring company that you’re the right person for the job. Create a resume that tosses out conventional wisdom, write cover letters that sell your background, and assemble a portfolio of work that will wow the interviewer. Social networking has been the darling of the Web in the past few years, but it’s nosubstitute for the sort of personal interaction that makes relationships that help in future careers. As one manager said, “One recommendation is worth a million resumes.” This book shows you how to make and maintain the connections that will drive your future career moves. |
