All too often, people remain stuck in outdated mindsets and modes of operating, even after others recognize the need for change. Leaders need to learn to pivot even when there are no obvious signals guiding their way.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49528976769297,"sku":"GOR007246680","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49708620349713,"sku":"CIN1422184129VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49731689677073,"sku":"NGR9781422184127","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49752149983505,"sku":"CIN1422184129G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50150725615889,"sku":"GOR008088503","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50185944793361,"sku":"GOR008465545","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51025372381457,"sku":"NIN9781422184127","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52680601043217,"sku":"NLS9781422184127","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53452526420241,"sku":"CIN1422184129A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1422184129.jpg?v=1751177095"},{"product_id":"working-identity-book-herminia-ibarra-9781591394136","title":"Working Identity","description":"Presents a powerful model for career reinvention that reverses conventional wisdom.

Whether as a daydream or a spoken desire, nearly all of us have entertained the notion of reinventing ourselves. Feeling unfulfilled, burned out, or just plain unhappy with what we're doing, we long to make that leap into the unknown. But we also hold on, white-knuckled, to the years of time and effort we've invested in our current profession.In this powerful book, Herminia Ibarra presents a new model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from \"career experts\". While common wisdom holds that we must first know what we want to do before we can act, Ibarra argues that this advice is backward. Knowing, she says, is the result of doing and experimenting. Career transition is not a straight path toward some predetermined identity, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of \"possible selves\" we might become. Based on her in-depth research on professionals and managers in transition, Ibarra outlines an active process of career reinvention that leverages three ways of \"working identity\": experimenting with new professional activities, interacting in new networks of people, and making sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities.Through engrossing stories - from a literature professor turned stockbroker to an investment banker turned novelist - Ibarra reveals a set of guidelines that all successful reinventions share. She explores specific ways that hopeful career changers of any background can: explore possible selves; craft and execute 'identity experiments'; create 'small wins' that keep momentum going; survive the rocky period between career identities; connect with role models and mentors who can ease the transition; make time for reflection - without missing out on windows of opportunity; decide when to abandon the old path in order to follow the new; and arrange new events into a coherent story of who we are becoming. A call to the dreamer in each of us, \"Working Identity\" explores the process for crafting a more fulfilling future. Where we end up may surprise us. Herminia Ibarra is Professor of Organizational Behavior at INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49570611659025,"sku":"GOR001435928","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49754851639569,"sku":"CIN1578517788G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50326803579153,"sku":"CIN1578517788VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1578517788.jpg?v=1751150748"},{"product_id":"working-identity-updated-edition-with-a-new-preface-book-herminia-ibarra-9781647825560","title":"Working Identity, Updated Edition, With a New Preface","description":"Strategies that successful career changers use—and how to make them work for you.  Nearly all of us have entertained the notion of changing careers. Feeling burned out at work, unfulfilled, or just plain unhappy with whatever we're doing, we long to reinvent ourselves on a new and different career path. But how do we make this transition successfully?  In this update of the groundbreaking classic, bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from \"career experts\"—and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world. Career transition is not a linear path toward some predetermined identity, according to Ibarra, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of \"possible selves\" we might become. Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering and analyzing our past, but from inventing and testing our possible futures.  Using new examples of people in different stages of a career transition, Ibarra identifies the three critical strategies—experiment with new professional activities and identities, interact in new networks of people, and make sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities—that all successful career changers use. She shows how you can use these strategies to:    Explore your possible selves Craft and execute \"identity experiments\" Create \"small wins\" that keep momentum going Connect with role models and mentors who can ease the transition Arrange new learnings into a coherent story    Now with action-oriented exercises to help you work successfully through your own career transition, this updated edition gives you the tools to discover a new path and find success in your new career.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49751272882449,"sku":"NGR9781647825560","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49853316170001,"sku":"GOR013799217","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50388885111057,"sku":"CIN1647825563G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51044012654865,"sku":"NIN9781647825560","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51149198688529,"sku":"CIN1647825563VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52614532759825,"sku":"NLS9781647825560","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52823717806353,"sku":"GOR014630622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53028413702417,"sku":"GOR014705236","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1647825563.jpg?v=1750960684"},{"product_id":"act-like-a-leader-think-like-a-leader-updated-edition-of-the-global-bestseller-w-book-herminia-ibarra-9781647825546","title":"Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader, Updated Edition of the Global Bestseller, With a New Preface","description":"A new edition of the bestseller that has helped aspiring leaders worldwide advance their careers and step up to larger leadership roles.
