As usual, a brief review on an article of your choice is due on Jan 11. The cross comments are due on Jan 13.
In addition, please read this Harvard Business Review article - linked here. A blog post on this article is also due on Jan 11.
Your post should include YOUR perspective on:
- what skills are needed for contemporary career success
- how are those skills different from past requirements
- how will you learn those skills
- what is the relationship between 'formal assignments' and 'connector skills'
Here is an excerpt on the NEW NATURE of career success.
This changes the nature of career success. It is not enough to be technically adept or even to be interpersonally pleasant. Power goes to the "connectors": those people who actively seek relationships and then serve as bridges between and among groups. Their personal contacts are often as important as their formal assignment. In essence, "She who has the best network wins."
