Harvard Business Review Career Book

This unassuming book actually packs a solid punch. The book promises to help executives guide careers through turbulent times. Articles are taken from the fabled Harvard Business Review and all are useful. Most career changers will benefit from the article on how to be fired gracefully. I’d recommend reading the article on being a corporate hero – i.e., when to refuse to condone an activity that’s unethical or illegal. In today’s environment, this knowledge will be essential. If you’ve been following the story of Mark Hurd of Hewlett-Packard, you’ll be sensitized to this information.
The book also includes the classic article by Herminia Ibarra, turning the world of career change upside down. It’s a good book to give anyone who wants some novel insghts on corporate career change.
