Career Warfare: 10 Rules For Building A Successful Personal Brand And Fighting To Keep It
by David F. D'Alessandro Michele OwensIn Career Warfare, David F. D'Alessandro, the bestselling author of Brand Warfare, has written a business classic: an insightful and delightfully frank book about achieving professional success at a high level. What really defines those who get ahead? Hard work and accomplishments will only get you so far. If you intend to compete at the levels where the competition gets really ferocious-where everybody is hard-working and accomplished- you need a much more subtle weapon. According to D'Alessandro, the CEO of John Hancock Financial Services, you cannot win without the kind of reputation or "personal brand" that convinces powerful people to trust you. D'Alessandro, a keen observer of the unwritten rules of organizational life, shows how personal brands are built out of people's day-to-day behavior in even the most insignificant moments. He also demonstrates what a battle it is to build a good one. It is a battle even to be noticed early in your career; it is a battle not to become dangerously arrogant later on. You constantly have to defend your brand from the sniping of your enemies, the indifference of your bosses, and your own worst impulses. Career Warfare will help you to win these fights at every stage of your career by showing you how to: *Look beyond your own navel *Make people want to take a chance on you *Get your boss to promote your "personal brand" *Decide when to stay in a bad job and when to leave a good one *Recognize the types of organizations that will keep you from rising *Pull away from the pack in mid-career 4 And much more Using vivid stories from his own rise through the organizational ranks, D'Alessandro offers shrewd advice for disarming the people who hold your career in their hands and introduces a remarkable cast of characters along the way. You'll meet the corporate chairman who gave himself a speech impediment, the account executive who sang opera for a president, and the job candidate who washed her face with a pancake. You will also meet some of the smartest managers of their own public images on the planet and learn from the things they have done right. Success, says D'Alessandro, is not going to come from your accomplishments alone. But you can separate yourself from the crowd and rise to the level of your ambitions-if you create the kind of personal impression that commands respect. Career Warfare offers the smartest advice you'll ever get about how to do it.
Career and Family: Women’s Century-Long Journey toward Equity
by Claudia GoldinWinner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in EconomicsA renowned economic historian traces women&’s journey to close the gender wage gap and sheds new light on the continued struggle to achieve equity between couples at homeA century ago, it was a given that a woman with a college degree had to choose between having a career and a family. Today, there are more female college graduates than ever before, and more women want to have a career and family, yet challenges persist at work and at home. This book traces how generations of women have responded to the problem of balancing career and family as the twentieth century experienced a sea change in gender equality, revealing why true equity for dual career couples remains frustratingly out of reach.Drawing on decades of her own groundbreaking research, Claudia Goldin provides a fresh, in-depth look at the diverse experiences of college-educated women from the 1900s to today, examining the aspirations they formed—and the barriers they faced—in terms of career, job, marriage, and children. She shows how many professions are &“greedy,&” paying disproportionately more for long hours and weekend work, and how this perpetuates disparities between women and men. Goldin demonstrates how the era of COVID-19 has severely hindered women&’s advancement, yet how the growth of remote and flexible work may be the pandemic&’s silver lining.Antidiscrimination laws and unbiased managers, while valuable, are not enough. Career and Family explains why we must make fundamental changes to the way we work and how we value caregiving if we are ever to achieve gender equality and couple equity.

CareerWise Colorado
by Matthew Preble Rawi Abdelal Joseph B. FullerCareerWise Colorado (CWC) is an organization that equips high school students with the skills to build successful careers through apprenticeships. Founded in 2016, the young organization has attracted interest from different groups and civic leaders from across the U.S., some of whom want to replicate CWC's model, and others who want CWC to bring and then operate its program in their localities. Noel Ginsburg, CWC's founder and CEO, and Ashley Carter, COO, now have to decide how, when, and where to grow CWC. They both believe in CWC's apprenticeship model's widespread applicability, but so far it is still a relatively small-with just over 200 active apprentices spread across two cohorts; all of whom live in Colorado-and unproven entity. As of late 2018, no apprentices had yet completed the three year program. They did not want to scale the program too soon, but Ginsburg and Carter also did not want to miss out on the attractive opportunities being presented to them. How should they scale this organization?
