This timely guide explains how businesses can effectively integrate and coordinate career and succession planning programs to meet the personnel demands of the future. Drawing on their experience and expertise with workforce development, the authors of this book based its content on a single but important premise. With global economic instability, a slowdown in workforce growth, extraordinary competition for the best talent, and the rapid advance of technology, there is an immediate need to integrate career and succession planning programs. Explaining how to do just that, this practical, user-friendly guide is the first to link those critical business tools, showing readers how to prepare for tomorrow—and the many years after. The book presents a systematic approach through which businesses can integrate and coordinate career planning and succession planning programs. Part One makes the business case for moving beyond segregated career and succession planning and shows why they must be integrated. Part Two offers foundations for integration, while Part Three outlines the strategies that can make integration a reality. Part Four addresses the future of career development and succession planning. Other topics include the future of organizational infrastructure and the implications of a diverse workforce. Employee engagement and leadership development are also explored.
More than just a book, Play Your Bigger Game is a concept that will take you only nine minutes to understand but a lifetime to play. It was designed from the premise that life itself is one big game. And, if it is, then why not play one that excites, fulfills, and challenges you to develop and express your talents completely? By the way, there’s nothing wrong with wanting that. It’s a natural expression of who we are, and since each of us is blessed with talents, we’re naturally hungry to develop and put them to use. Too often we suppress that desire for full engagement and self-expression because we think it’s the grown-up thing to do. We consciously turn down our hunger dials, because we’re afraid of expecting too much from life. We also think: If I settle for less, I won’t be disappointed. Play Your Bigger Game was created to counteract that self-limiting, fear-based approach to life. It’s also designed to keep you forever in play, meaning that you’ll never be stuck again, since you’ll always have the game board to guide your next move. Michelangelo said, "The great danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short but in setting our aim too low and hitting the mark." This book is not just about making a living; it’s about making an impact. Curiously enough, I find that once players begin to make a positive impact, their incomes often rise, too. Still, if you’re interested in simply making a living and just surviving in life, I’m afraid that this book is not for you. If you want to make an impact in the world and thrive in your life while earning a very good living, please read on. The purpose of this book is to: Reveal the Bigger Game player you already are, help you find the Bigger Games that excite and challenge you to fully deploy all of your energy and gifts, teach you to consciously design the person you’re destined to become, allow you to feed the hunger in your soul, help you to make a major impact, and allow you to leave a lasting legacy.

Has life gotten you down? Are you in a situation where you don’t see a way out? Do you wish you could change things but don’t know how? Why does it still hurt? Whether it’s financial, emotional, relational, or other circumstantial reasons, much of life is about making and living with your decisions. This book will show you you’re not alone, and you can overcome bad circumstances and poor choices. God is with you. God made you to love you and have a personal relationship with you. He’s not way out there in space somewhere. He’s right here now, ready for you to reach out to him, ready to lift you out of life’s turmoil and bring you peace. He’s ready to help you find the destiny he created you for. From her inspiring original artworks, her soaring poetry, and easy-to-read prose, Jean has packed these pages with the stories of twelve women from the Bible who all had to make life-defining decisions under situations similar to what many of us are challenged with every day. Their stories, set against their historical and cultural backgrounds, teach many life lessons all of us can incorporate into our own lives to change the way we think and live right in our own culture today. These uplifting narratives are interwoven with some of Jean’s personal experiences along similar paths in her own life. Together, they demonstrate that no matter how dire the circumstances or how wretched the lifestyle, there is always hope and redemption freely given by the grace of God to each of us if we ask.
Changing jobs in your 30's or at an executive or manager level requires you to think more strategically about your career. As your coach, author Carl Wellenstein guides you through the process of making job and career changes in a step-by-step fashion that is specific to your level and situation.
