Rocketships & Parachutes will help readers of all ages, at all career stages, capitalize on their knowledge--to know when and how to “launch" their careers on a new trajectory (Rocketships), and also understand when to find a way "to land” (safely via “Parachutes") after a tackling a challenge that somehow didn’t work out as expected.- Steering a path through a turbulent future, in which the old ways are disappearing, to be replaced faster and faster, is critically important.
- Understanding how and when to take action, lead, follow, manage, strategize and execute are the keys to building a successful career trajectory.
- Knowing when to grab for a parachute and land in a safe and positive way, is the key to keeping those careers moving onward and upward.
- Understanding how to work with people of all kinds, of all ages, in different situations, and create positive outcomes--win-win outcome--is a critical skill for the future.
