There was a time when employees did not need to manage their careers – it was the responsibility of their managers to plan the careers of their direct reports. However times have changed and in today’s world it is up to us to manage our self and our career.

We need to define and then to carve out our place in the organization and know when it is necessary to change our direction or career path. It’s up to us to keep ourselves engaged, motivated and productive during a career that may last between 35-40 years.
