Summary

This career development tool kit is for people who want to take charge of their own professional futures. 
 
If you want to have a career that is meaningful and inspires you, you must prepare for it the same way you would a marathon—developing an overall training plan to carry you through to race day and beyond. This is especially important in today's unpredictable work world, where organizations are in a state of constant flux, and many have either eliminated their employee development programs or adopted a generic, one-size-fits-all approach. 
 
Skills for Career Success maps the strategies and skills you will need to take responsibility for your own future. It provides an overview of career development basics, including how to write an Individual Development Plan (IDP) that is practical and useful to you. The core of the book is an easy-to-navigate catalog of fifty-one critical skills, such as communicating clearly, adapting to situations, advocating for yourself, managing time, and selling your ideas. For each skill, there are actions you can take immediately, ongoing practices, and long-term goals. Beyond the skills, there is advice for keeping your career on track, mapping a path beyond your current job, overcoming personal roadblocks, finding your passion at work, and initiating talent conversations with your manager. There are also guidelines for managers who want to bring out the best in their people.

    In The Web3 Era, David Shin connects pivotal moments from the history of human progress and global trade with current events that are shaping the world of tomorrow through a fascinating and insightful exploration of the long-term, next-level use cases of non-fungible tokens and digital assets, and their implications for industries that leverage these advancements. In the book, you'll find discussions of the challenges and opportunities for institutions awaiting the arrival of the Web3 space; how old Western central powers are struggling to keep up with the digital currencies of the East; and why our voices will matter as consensus-driven tribes converge to form DAOs. You'll also discover the potential of blockchain as a pivotal engine for driving the metaverse economy and transforming contemporary web infrastructure into a decentralized network of free trade and social interaction governed by users themselves.The author covers topics that include the potential institution of a smart treasury in a digital economy; the convergence of metaverse infrastructure with decentralized finance, creating a virtual world of open finance; use cases for government-backed digital tokens in a variety of industries; and social interactions and commerce tied to Soulbound-identity, AI technology, archeological revelations, de-dollarization, and the rising Global South.

    The purpose of this book is to focus on what goes wrong in  entrepreneurship  what business owners regret and what one  can do to address these laments. The book will  commence with an overview of the personality traits and qualities  that make success in entrepreneurship more likely, and will then  turn to an examination of 7 key laments the author has experienced  and witnessed as an entrepreneur himself and as a corporate  attorney representing hundreds of entrepreneurs over his 26 year  legal career. This book will cover challenges from an  entrepreneurial viewpoint and approach the subject matter in a  casual, anecdotal manner much like the two, multi-part series on  the subject written by the author for Slate.com in 2009, which  inspired this book idea.  These 7 principal obstacles, as  previously stated, are focus, work/life, partners, employees,  financing, boredom, and burnout, can be featured at any level in  the entrepreneurial game, whether it be during the nerve-wrecking  start-up or in the disenchanted later stages when success does not  necessarily guarantee personal or professional contentment.   This book will be a comprehensive and accessible guide to handling  the often unforeseeable consequences of becoming an entrepreneur in  today and tomorrows economy.

    Why do some businesses “fail to scale”? Smooth Scaling offers a clear diagnosis, along with twenty practical Rituals to boost your organization’s performance and achieve frictionless growth.  
Smooth Scaling addresses the most pervasive and least-understood fail point that threatens to kneecap even the best-laid scaling plan: organizational friction. Expert Rob Bier reveals why organizational frictions take hold as you grow and how they slow your company down.  
These growth pains are both predictable and preventable, yet they almost always take leaders by surprise. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Until now, there’s been no resource to guide executives through this challenge. As a result, they end up playing “Whack-a-Mole,” reacting to a never-ending stream of organizational, team, and people problems one at a time—only for new ones to crop up. Smooth Scaling addresses this gap, presenting a proven approach based on real-life experience and application.  
Drawing on his extensive experience building high-performance organizations, Bier has created twenty foundational Rituals that integrate seamlessly into the daily habits of your company. These Rituals make your organization as frictionless as possible, allowing you to scale faster—and more sustainably—than ever before. 
In Smooth Scaling, you will learn how to:Build trust proactively across your organization Turn your managers into a powerful driver of productivity and scalability Build high-performance teams with the people you’ve got Break down barriers between departments to prevent silos Maintain a cohesive high-trust culture as you grow  
Smooth Scaling is your indispensable guide to building a scalable, high-performing organization.
