- Synopsis
- This Reading examines what it takes to build a successful managerial career. The Essential Reading section contends that a managerial role, by its nature, imposes learning needs that cannot be fully taught in the classroom but must be mastered throughout one's career. It then presents the Developmental Strategies Framework, which focuses on three recurring career challenges: (1) choosing the right position; (2) developing managerial skills by learning from stretch assignments and through periodic reflection; and (3) getting help by building a developmental network. The Reading includes two Supplemental Reading sections: one discusses an approach to honing ethical judgment; the other presents a way to think about integrating work and life goals. The Reading features five videos: "A Great Job Fit," which deals with how to choose new positions; "Seek Challenges," which advocates finding assignments that expand one's knowledge and skill set; "Forging a New Global Comfort Zone," covering the advantages of taking on international opportunities; "Seek Mentors Who Expand Your Comfort Zone," offering advice on how to use mentors; and "Ethical Ambiguity," which provides guidance on the ethical dimensions of managerial decision making. The Reading also includes an Interactive Illustration, "Work Values and Job Selection," in which readers rate five job opportunities, separately rate the importance of nine work values to them, and then analyze whether their job ratings are consistent with their work values.
