Career management involves four key steps: developing a career mindset, self-assessment, creating a career plan, and establishing a plan of action. It is a process of balancing individual and organizational needs through various approaches like self-assessment tools, setting short and long-term goals, networking, mentoring, and ongoing learning to develop skills, advance one's career, and stay relevant in a changing work environment. Regular self-reflection helps to clarify strengths, values, and direction for continuous career progress.
