Workers are searching for a life that is richer, more balanced, authentic, and challenging. And when they find that their needs can't be met in the traditional workplace, they are walking away. This book discusses this growing phenomenon: how this universal need drives career and life decisions for women and men alike; the critical role gender plays in the patterns of today's careerists; what choices women are making and why; how men's priorities differ from women's and how they affect their career paths; and what the best organizations are doing to stem the flow of talent heading out the door. With research data from the authors' five-year study, this look at today's workplace profiles hundreds of modern-day trailblazers who have created careers defined by personal needs, life values, and a new 21st-century definition of success, inside and out of traditional corporate boundaries.--From publisher description.

This collection of innovative experiential exercises combines with current and classic readings and case studies to offer you a well-structured approach to the study of managerial practice. Authors Mainiero and Tromley address the common problems that concern most managers in a style that not only provides a theoretical framework, but helps readers to better understand their own skills, philosophies, attitudes, strengths, and limitations. CONTENT Three experiential exercises allow readers to apply theoretical concepts, and to test and improve their skills in a simulated organizational situation; Three readings per chapter help contribute to conceptual knowledge and support skill development; Case studies offer the opportunity to integrate and use the theories and concepts from the readings to solve typical management problems; Self-assessment questionnaires allow readers to analyze their attitudes, philosophies, and strengths and limitations as managers; Skill practice simulations require testing theories and skills in controlled management problems; Theory application exercises allow readers to question the theoretical knowledge as applied to their own job situations; Each chapter ends with a brief written assignment - 'memo' - in which readers can apply that chapter's concepts to their current work experience.
