Opportunities for moving up in the typical organisational hierarchy are not always plentiful and may not be the most satisfying career move. Up Is Not the Only Way shows that there are other ways to develop and progress at work. It details how to forge the link between organisational strategic planning and individual career planning and development.
Outlining a complete career development process, Beverly Kaye shows how to prepare a career program that meets an organisation's needs; profile an employee's technical, personal and conceptual skills; target suitable career goals; develop an action plan; provide effective skill acquisition programs and develop evaluation procedures. Filled with practical tips, action items, cases, and exercises, Up Is Not The Only Way is ideal for career development practitioners, human resource professionals, career counsellors, managers, executives and anyone interested in new career directions.
This new edition includes additional material on communication strategies, techniques for recognising talent in diversity and a new approach to mentoring.
