How to Navigate Your Career by Jeff Saperstein - 2015
The document discusses four questions to help navigate your career: 1) Where do I fit in terms of fields, regions, sectors, cultures, and work styles? 2) How do I add value through skills, disciplines, and the ability to contribute to teams? 3) Can I learn to compete and collaborate as a valued team member? 4) Can I learn to communicate effectively through both giving and receiving verbal and non-verbal signals? Answering these questions involves self-reflection on values, skills, networks, and preparing for changes in the emerging work world through continuous learning.
