For many of us baby-boomers who started our careers in a paradigm created by our father’s generation, it can be mind boggling to understand today’s work environment.

It looks at the past and how various management styles play a part in determining our present and future career path decisions.

Ms. Knox then goes into how to determine where you are now and why that is important to understanding your core competencies.

Finally, by looking at the future you can see where to go to find the dream job you have been searching for.  I highly recommend this for any individual struggling to find their way in today’s difficult social and economic environment.
