Your roadmap to success as an early-career professional.
Being a professional at the start of your career often feels limiting and discouraging. With a job market that is growing more crowded and competitive, hirers are increasingly (and unnecessarily) casting time and experience as the "golden ticket" to career advancement, rather than investing in passion and potential. When organizations fall into the pattern of prioritizing experience, they amplify the bias our society holds against the youth and miss out on the innovation driving talents they provide. Organizational growth, along with that of the young workforce, is stunted as a result.
In his book, Let Me Lead, Dr. Seger Morris shines a light on this form of ageism that runs rampant across all professions and shows how to overcome it. Using a diverse compilation of real-life examples that transcend industry differences, Dr. Morris teaches you:
-How to avoid the experience pitfall and better foster innovation.
-How to conquer your victimhood in ageism for increased success.
-How to create synergy between your personal and professional life for a greater impact.
Whether you're an early-career professional who's tired of begging for a seat at the table or an executive looking to broaden your perspective as a leader and mentor, this is the practical guide for you.
