About this listen
Futureproof Your Career is the essential guide to improving your career and taking full advantage of opportunities for progression. With a major focus on the changing business, economic and technological landscape, it explores the new challenges of job retention and career progression.
With the impact of the pandemic, the ongoing fourth industrial revolution, the broadening awareness of institutionalized discrimination and the concerns around an economic recession, it is an understatement to say that we're entering a 'new normal' in which working patterns and career trajectories have irreversibly changed. From two leading academics, this is both a practical guide to success and an enlightening insight into the future of work. It draws upon both the authors' academic research and an international array of case studies and interviews to provide engaging and illuminating insights
Futureproof Your Career features key insights into how jobs and networking are dramatically transforming, and provides readers with the ability to develop a stronger awareness of new opportunities and become better prepared to safeguard their jobs and bolster their career in this new landscape.©2021 Shaheena Janjuha-Jivraj and Naeema Pasha (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Managers want great teams, but most build them around decades-old ideas and practices made popular by companies that have lost their edge. Extreme Teams looks at the new generation of teams driving growth in today's most innovative firms. They do this by doing things differently: hiring the right person instead of the best person; focusing on one priority while leaving room to explore new ideas; creating an environment where people are comfortable dealing with the uncomfortable.

How do senior leaders, in their own words, describe the most effective leaders - the ones that get results, grow the business, enhance the culture and leave in their wake a trail of other really effective leaders? Conversely, how do senior leaders describe the kind of leader that undercuts the organization's capacity and capability to create its future? This book, based on groundbreaking research, shows how senior leaders describe and develop leadership that works, that does not, that scales, and that limits scale.

Are you a high potential? Your managers and HR department are constantly wondering that about you - and assessing whether or not you have what it takes to advance. Here's how to get them to answer yes. Being seen as a high potential leader is essential to getting promoted and reaching an organization's upper echelons, but most companies keep their top talent list a closely guarded secret. And the assessment process they use to decide who is and isn't a future leader is an even greater mystery.

Companies have no idea if collaboration benefits corporate performance, individual productivity, or employee well-being. Collaboration, that seemingly Good Thing all companies encourage, is creating an epidemic of overload and burnout. It crushes our vitality and well-being, prevents us from being innovative, and blocks our companies from being the most successful organizations they could be.

Critic reviews
"This book blends scholarly research and practice-based insights to force a rethink of what ongoing social shifts, enterprise innovations and altering societal values imply for future careers." (Alnoor Bhimani, professor of management accounting and director of South Asia Centre, London School of Economics)
"The authors set out a compelling vision for a more people-centred, impact-led approach to navigate the 'next normal'. So much in here resonated with me, and has been missing from other leadership books." (Gwen Hines, CEO, Save the Children UK)
