MAKE YOUR JOB WORK FOR YOU
 
In today's often-challenging job market, many of us want to feel more engaged with our current jobs rather than try to find the "perfect" position. Veteran leadership consultants and authors Milo and Thuy Sindell share eight thought-provoking strategies to help you create the end of work as you know it—their phrase for the ideal state of harmony among what you do for a living, why you do it, and the results you achieve.
 
Strategies such as Initiate Change, Create Meaning, Spark Creativity, and Build Legacy will empower you to make your job work for you—instead of the other way around. Real-world examples and practical exercises put the strategies into context and are sure to inspire you to take action, transforming the daily grind into lasting, meaningful accomplishments. These tools can help you regroup whenever you find yourself disengaged at the office, regardless of your field or career stage. So when you're ready to quit singing the 9-to-5 blues, The End of Work as You Know It guides you toward aligning your values with your professional goals in order to fundamentally change your experience of work.

      The Sindells (coauthors of Sink or Swim
      ) explore why employees feel disengaged from their work and offer tips for creating greater alignment between who you are and the work you do. The authors are clear-eyed about why so much work feels meaningless (“How does creating a PowerPoint presentation on this quarter’s revenues... make a difference in the world?”); they stress that workers must see their jobs as an opportunity for professional and personal growth—not just a paycheck—and provide eight strategies to that end: sharing expertise, initiating change, demanding autonomy, creating meaning, sparking creativity, seizing recognition, maintaining balance and building legacy. Each strategy is accompanied by analysis, an illustrative case study, guidance on when to apply it and advice on what will be gained. The book’s emphasis on the work-life balance, the necessity of deriving professional fulfillment from work and clear, cogent tips on defining and achieving career goals will help employees at all levels reap personal rewards in the workplace.

      The Sindells (cofounders, Hit the Ground Running; coauthors, "Job Spa: 12 Weeks To Refresh, Refocus, and Recommit to Your Career") team up again with this volume on how to get your job to work for you, rather than the other way round. According to the authors, "the end of work" occurs when your job creates a sense of fulfillment and alignment with your personal goals. To this end, they offer eight strategies for rethinking your role at work, each of which applies to different people at different stages of their careers. The concise explanations of each strategy coupled with detailed explanations of how to follow through make this a great resource. Strongly recommended for anyone, employed or job-seeking, who wants to redefine how he or she thinks about work.EN
