Whether you recently joined the workforce or are well into your career and if you're feeling less than inspired and, as a result, you find yourself sitting zoned out in your office or workspace wondering why you're there, 5-Star Career: Why You Still Don't You Have One and How to Get It, may be the book for you. If you suspect that your career would receive less than a 5-star rating for any reason, including the following, this book is for you because: 1) You're generally dissatisfied with your career; it's just not what you envisioned, it doesn't exist at all, or you feel like a fake who's going to get caught any moment. 2) You're confident that you're relatively smart and/or hardworking, but never seem to get where you to and can't quite figure out why. Maybe you know why (or think you do) but don't have a clue how to make changes, or lack the confidence that seems to be required. 3) The people you work with are all actual jerks and/or you seem to morph into a jerk for some odd reason every time you walk in the office or open your laptop. 4) At this point, you suspect that you should settle for a decent salary and benefits but sense that there should be more to gain from all the rote tasks you have to do every day. 5) It seems like no matter how hard you work, nobody appreciates it or even understands what it is you're doing. And maybe you understand the lack of appreciation because the work seems ridiculous, boring, or like glorified busy work. 6) Weird stuff that you can't easily explain keeps happening. Whatever it is always ends up derailing your plan or otherwise holding you back. You feel like a magnet for bad luck. 7) You're not even quite sure you know what a 5-Star career is for you; you're feeling listless and uninspired, yet you want that career. Perhaps once you have it, you'll feel better? 8) You're feeling a little, or a lot, ticked off that everyone around you appears to be either thriving in a unique career that seemed to develop naturally over time, or they have the sort of job that has a clear progression based on years of experience. They all seem to have 4 or 5-Star careers but not you. This book relies on quality management concepts to walk you through the simple, straightforward process of identifying what a 5-star career means to you, the reasons you don't have it now, and what you can do to get it. Yes, you will likely need to make some changes. 5-Star Career will provide the insights, processes, and tools that drive powerful change through understanding and applying quality management-based concepts and methodologies in a self-directed program. Perhaps more importantly, the book will give you a common sense, strategic context for personally implementing quality concepts that reflect their personal goals as well as their own definition of a 5-star life and career.
