Editor's Notes

  • #6 The new revolution demands reinvention, especially in the way we think about ourselves! This new world of outsourcing, powerful communication platforms and networks is very different than that of yesteryear. This means unlearning the employee, human resource, conformity driven mentality and replacing it with a self marketing and brand mindset. This is not a choice but essential to survival in a global and competitive business This age of mass individualization calls for us to view ourselves as business entities, showcase our abilities, talents, attributes and skills to stand out from the crowds. It challenges us to become famous for our skills and be obsessed about the work we do. Some consider the new work environment precarious, risky and uncertain; I call it liberating especially if you approach it with a Personal Branding mindset. Success in this world means changing our way of thinking, embracing the new and learning to leverage their power to your advantage.
