Summary

An essential guide to the future of work in Australia.

For many Australians, rapid progress in artificial intelligence, robotics and automation is a growing anxiety. What will it mean for jobs? What will it mean for their kids’ futures? More broadly, what will it mean for equality in this country?

Jim Chalmers and Mike Quigley believe that bursts in technology need not result in bursts of inequality, that we can combine technological change with the fair go. But first we need to understand what’s happening to work, and what’s likely to happen.

This is a timely, informative and authoritative book about the changing face of work, and how best to approach it – at both a personal and a political level.

Jim Chalmers is a Labor MP and Shadow Minister for Finance. Before being elected to parliament, Jim was the chief of staff to the Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer. He has a PhD in political science and international relations and is the author of Glory Daze (2013).

Mike Quigley spent 36 years with the major global telecommunications company Alcatel, including three years as its president and COO. He was the first employee of the Australian NBN company and its CEO for four years. He is now adjunct professor in the School of Computing and Communications at UTS.
Available since: 09/23/2017.

    Navigating the workforce as a woman can feel like making your way through a minefield. Step too far in one direction, and suddenly, you're considered bossy and overbearing and difficult to work with. Too far in the other, and you lose your power and voice. And if you try to stay in the middle, you could still be contributing to generations' worth of a stagnant mindset that has hindered women from reaching true equality.In The B Words: 13 Words Every Woman Must Navigate for Success, Tricia Kagerer uses her experience and the experiences of other women to provide guidance to help women of all ages and in all walks of life achieve their goals. Kagerer identifies the challenges—both internal and external—that hold women back both personally and professionally, explores their impact, and outlines strategies for overcoming them. Whether that means navigating difficult relationships with coworkers, building effective professional networks, or confronting one's own limiting beliefs and biases, Kagerer's advice shows how we can break through these obstacles and find our way to self-defined success.This book fights for true equality in the workforce and calls for bridges to be built not only between women but between men and women as well, fostering open communication and understanding that will lead to a brighter future.

    Aside from pointing out the many benefits of people who have a good influence on you, this guide goes over some intriguing thoughts that relate to the concept of influence. 
      
    One of those thoughts is the influence of your genes on your happiness levels. Another focuses on the psychology of covert tactics to persuade their victims. Last but not least, two chapters are devoted to the most important steps to take on your journey to better management and leadership, whether that’s in business or in your personal life. 
      
    If you think you can use any of this knowledge, then I encourage you to pick up this book and start reading or listening to it.

    Having been raised under the influence of two disparate realities, John recognized the profound impact of familial beliefs on shaping one's outlook on life. By confronting and ultimately rejecting the limitations imposed by his family's reality, John embarked on a journey of self-discovery, forging his own path towards early retirement and financial abundance. In doing so, he embraced the transformative power of leveraging alternative perspectives and charting his own course towards prosperity. 
    Getting a raise isn't the golden ticket to wealth. If you're serious about building your financial future, a raise might actually steer you off course. John's early retirement wasn't fueled by salary bumps but by leveraging debt strategically, a move that defies conventional wisdom. 
    Debt, like income, comes in shades of good and bad. Unfortunately, many are drowning in the wrong kind of debt. Similarly, not all income is created equal. While most believe any increase in income is positive, working harder for what's considered "bad income" won't lead to wealth. To retire rich and young, focus on generating "good income." 
    Income can be categorized into three types: ordinary, portfolio, and passive. Ordinary income involves trading time for money, typical of paychecks and commissions. Portfolio income stems from investments like stocks and bonds, while passive income flows from assets like real estate or intellectual property. According to John's mentor, the worst type is ordinary income—it's heavily taxed, time-consuming, and lacks leverage or residual value, trapping you in a cycle of work and pay.
