Jobshift: How To Prosper In A Workplace Without Jobs

5 reviews
William Bridges

Da Capo Press, 1995

A stimulating glimpse of the future
In the era of downsizing and mergers, one hears far too many people bewailing what we've "lost": job security, well-defined career paths, companies that feel responsible for the people who work for them, employee loyalty. Bridges offers a more positive perspective: "work" as we conceive of it was an artifact of the Industrial Revolution, with its view of workers as cogs in a machine; and, as ...

Creating You & Co.: Learn To Think Like The CEO Of Your Own Career

Da Capo Press, 1998

I read this book when it was first published several years ago and recently re-read it, curious to see how well its core concepts have held up.

This is a engrossing book about what happens when a person who has made a career out of understanding "transitions" (and helping other people and organizations through times of transition) comes face to face with a gigantic transition. As Bridges dealt with the death of his wife and the concomitant end of a lengthy marriage, he found himself wondering if he really understood transitions at all. ...
