Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One | |
It's always the right time to think about your next move.
In today's economy the average job tenure is only four years, and falling. Roles change constantly. Even smart, motivated people hit professional plateaus.
'What's next?' is a question we all have to answer more frequently. But how do you advance without getting stuck?
In Pivot, Jenny Blake, co-creator of Google's Career Guru Programme, shows you how to build upon your assets - your strengths, interests and networks - to launch a new career with meaning and adventure. You will learn how to redirect your energy, scan for opportunities and identify new skills without falling prey to 'analysis paralysis' or 'compare and despair'.
No matter your age, industry, or bank balance, pivoting is the crucial skill you need to stay agile and keep you moving forward.
'Feeling stuck? It's time to try something new. All that stands between you and your next adventure is a bit of strategy, planning, and preparation. If a change is in your future, Pivot is your guide' - Josh Kaufman, author of The Personal MBA and The First 20 Hours

网友对Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One的评论
At the outset, let me clarify that I think Ms. Blake is a very impressive individual and I'd be thrilled to be as accomplished as she is even at my age (mid 40s). This book has fantastic and very practical content in terms of 1) taking stock of your strengths and clarifying your vision 2) scanning the environment for suitable oportunities 3)piloting low risk experiments and then 4) launching when you have found your "it". I won't expand further on the detail other than to say the content is incisive, sharp, practical and very, very useful. Then why the 3 stars? I think the book misses the boat on one very critical element, which is the emotional and self-identity changes involved in making a successful career transition. My perception is that these tend to be very gut wrenching if you are older and also if the change is more drastic than not, and these two factors certainly compund the effect of each other. She skims lightly if at all over these aspects, whereas in my experience, dealing with the implications of these over 6 years of a still ongoing transition into entrepreneurship from very well paying corporate job with a family and bills to pay, these are monumental. Working identity, by Herminia Ibarra, and very surprisingly (for me) Pivot, by Adam Markel ended up being much stronger on these dimensions. A transition is not at all linear and the author just tips her hat to this fact. The light treatment given in the book to the enormous real life implications of the mess of iteration does the aspiring career changer a disservice
This book cuts through the fluffiness of most career development advice, providing clear and tangible steps everyone should be taking throughout their career journeys. This is relevant to all of us - whether working at a big corporation or self-employed - as we yearn to grow and find our own capacity for great things. Jenny is the queen of useful templates and checklists for all of these things and more. I will keep this book handy on my bookshelf for the rest of my career, (life?) and it will be the book I refer people to over and over as they grapple with questions over what they should be doing next in their careers.
This is a book I've been waiting for for months, well - years really.
In the world where 'pivot is the new normal' with job uncertainty and dissatisfaction, we all need to constantly scan ourselves and our environment for opportunities to pivot - or get pivoted. The author gives us a clear and easy-to-follow 4-stage process for career change: Plant - Scan - Pilot - Launch. The framework is logical, well researched and well-explained. It's accompanied by practical exercises and templates and other tools to help readers through the process.
It's not your usual 'quit today, sit on the beach in Thailand tomorrow' type of book. The author promotes a well-thought out and researched approach, emphasising 'shifting naturally' and a continuous process rather than a radical step.
It's well-written, practical, thoughtful and thorough. A must-read for those considering a career change, at any stage in their lives!
This book is a must-have for anyone looking to make a change in life, but even more so, a change in their career. One thing I hear over and over again from corporate employees, specifically my millennial colleagues, is the fear of trying something new or picking the 'wrong' path. Pivot lays out the perfect framework for navigating uncertainty while setting up a life and career flexible enough to continuously withstand change.
If you are at a sticking point in your career, project, or life plan, this book is for you.
While a lot of books on this subject tell you to follow your passion and shoot for the stars, Jenny Blake brings her advice down to ground-level and teaches you a method for how you can actually identify, test out, and make the shift you've been craving.
This book is full of practical, actionable advice that has been put to the test and worked for countless people. The examples in the book are sure to inspire you and give you confidence that it will work for you, too.
Besides for the exercises in the book that allow you to immediately apply what you just read (which is the best way to learn!), the book's companion website has a toolkit with a goldmine of additional resources.
I'm working through the steps right now and I'm excited for my next pivot!
Add this book to your cart. It is what you need to get past your sticking point now and any that may come in the future.
