  Make a retirement plan that includes more than golf, mah-jongg, and grandkids.When what you do is inextricably tied to who you are for so much of your life, it can be daunting to think of who you'll be if you slow down—or stop working entirely. You've charted your own career journey, made difficult choices, led teams through times of turmoil, celebrated big wins, and moved on from devastating losses. How do you just stop? What do you do without a purpose and a plan—and a crowded calendar? How do you make this next stage of your life fulfilling and satisfying?While the idea of not working can be simultaneously wonderful and overwhelming, you can figure out what you want the end of your career and your retirement to look like before you submit your resignation. This book won't help you figure out whether or not you can afford to retire, but it will help you figure out what you'd like to do and who you'd like to be. You'll learn how to: assess your readiness to make a transition; make a plan to slow your pace—or stop completely; experiment with possible future selves; find new ways to apply old skills; communicate your plan to key partners; bridge your old identity to the new one you create; and keep connected to the passions and people that matter.

  DEC Is Dead Long Live DEC - The...

  From an insider, the forty-year saga of the rise and fall of Digital Equipment Corporation, one of the pioneering companies of the computer age.   Digital Equipment Corporation created the minicomputer, networking, the concept of distributed computing, speech recognition, and other major innovations. It was the number-two computer maker behind IBM. Yet it ultimately failed as a business and was sold to Compaq Corporation. What happened? Edgar Schein consulted to DEC throughout its history and so had unparalleled access to all the major players, and an inside view of all the major events. He shows how the unique organizational culture established by DEC's founder, Ken Olsen, gave the company important competitive advantages in its early years, but later became a hindrance and ultimately led to its downfall. Coauthors Schein, Kampas, DeLisi, and Sonduck explain in detail how a particular culture can become so embedded that an organization is unable to adapt to changing circumstances even though it sees the need very clearly. The essential elements of DEC’s culture are still visible in many other organizations today, and most former employees are so positive about their days at DEC that they attempt to reproduce its culture in their current work situations. In the era of post-dotcom meltdown, raging debate about companies “built to last” vs. “built to sell,” and more entrepreneurial startups than ever, the rise and fall of DEC is the ultimate case study.

  A modern, feminist take on the classic choose-your-own-journey book, inspiring readers to embrace the fact that the only right path is the one they forge. 
   
  2021 Independent Publisher Book Award Gold Medal Winner in the Self Help Category 
   
  So many women enter their adult lives believing that they should know where they are going and how to get there. This can make life decisions feel intimidating and overwhelming. While some choices that lie ahead are fairly predictable, such as those surrounding career, partnership, and motherhood, the effects of these choices can lead to more complicated and unexpected turns that are seldom discussed. 
   
  Rather than suggesting a rule book, Rebekah Bastian, vice president at Zillow and recognized thought leader, inspires you to Blaze Your Own Trail. “I have the benefit of being a living example of crooked paths, magnificent screw-ups, and shocking successes,” she writes. Through storylines and supportive data that explore workplace sexism, career changes, marriage, child-rearing, existential crises, and everything in between, you will learn to embrace and feel less alone in your own nonlinear journey. Even better, you can turn back decisions and make different ones. Blaze Your Own Trail includes nineteen possible outcomes and many routes to get there. You will find that you have the strength to make it through any of them. 
   
  “Outstanding . . . She gears her book towards exploring female experience and allows readers the opportunity to choose a variety of paths at the end of each chapter. In essence, this is the chronicle of finding your way through adult life and all its attendant joys and challenges.” —Hollywood Digest

  The central theme and cornerstone position of this  book is that the U.S. military in general, and its many elite  organizations in particular, possesses a culture of high  performance.  The six basic principles that operate at the  foundation of high performance are leadership, organization,  communication, knowledge, experience, and discipline or  L.O.C.K.E.D.  When all are practiced effectively, team work  emerges.  But, there is something else, the most elusive  quality that exists at the heart of all elite military teams, the  element that organizations and businesses deeply desire to perform  more efficiently and effectively  trust.     Trust is easily spent, but hard won.  The structure of this book will follow the L.O.C.K.E.D. format  and share compelling anecdotes from leaders in the many elite units  of the U.S. Military.  As an employer of approximately 50  senior military officers that have served in elite units and  communities such as the U.S. Navy Blue Angels and other fighter  pilots from the U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps, U.S. Navy SEALS,  and U.S. Army Rangers, the author has direct access to a multitude  of personal leadership stories that illustrate the principles of  L.O.C.K.E.D.:    Leadership  Organization  Communication  Knowledge  Experience  Discipline
