Executive career planning
You could not build a house without a plan and you cannot build a successful executive career without a plan...its as simple as that!
Successful executive careers are not built on "happenstance"...ask any successful person.
Think of the "building a house" analogy and start with the foundations such as your current qualifications and expertise...who would want them in the next 3 to 5 years.
Can your current position/occupation be outsourced and what alternatives are available to you should this occur. Revolutionary changes are happening this very moment in every workplace with technology and downsizing driving mammoth workplace and structural change across the globe.
- Research industry sectors that have growth, not contraction, and are well resourced.
- Examine the human resource practices and values of potential companies that you would like to work for.
- Connect with people you know that can give you good intelligence on all of the above factors.
- What income level do you need to support your lifestyle?
- Value proposition clearly demonstrates to employers and recruiters your unique value, offering and potential to the market.
- Career mapping "Where do I see myself in five years?” You may be drawn to the idea of launching your own business or perhaps you want a complete career change or an internal promotion within your existing company. But how do you get there? It is not a straight pathway.
Once you have completed these tasks you are ready to start planning...don't take shortcuts or make uninformed assumptions.
Executive career planning should be done on 3 to 5-year timeframes, anything else can be unrealistic. Your career plan is a researched and achievable document, not a heroic prediction (look at it as your personal career GPS system).
