Mastering the Invisible Shifts That Shape Your Career

The Five Stages of Career Growth

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.

Lessons for Building a New Social Contract at Work

Roads Not Taken

A rollicking, eye-opening history of the Star Wars franchise: an unrivaled force in popular culture that changed the way Hollywood makes movies—and that is now imperiled by many of the industry forces it set in motion From the premiere of the first film in 1977, the Star Wars franchise not only captured the imaginations of billions of people—and&nbsp;billions&nbsp;of dollars of revenue—but also rewrote the rules of the entertainment industry. Game-changing special effects, must-have collectibles, and the richness of George Lucas’s ever-expanding narrative&nbsp;gave rise to a new Hollywood model in which the boundary between screen and life collapsed. Star Wars wasn’t just a movie, after all: it was&nbsp;an alternate universe, a moral code, a way of life. Over the last half-century, Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel explains, the Star Wars franchise has relied on an anti-establishment ethos, the savvy of executives, and the devotion of moviegoers to become a new American myth. But since its fateful acquisition by Disney in 2012, Star Wars has become a cautionary tale of Hollywood excess, and its present status as a corporate holding bears little resemblance to its origins. Drawing on scores of insider interviews and surveying fifty years of American culture and commerce, Schwartzel delivers fresh perspective on the Star Wars story, bringing to life the scrappy creative spirit of Lucasfilm’s early days; the box-office frenzy that rang in Hollywood’s blockbuster era and gave rise to a new industry playbook; and the scores of fans whose lives have been shaped by this singular force. A panoramic narrative of dreams, obsession, and power, Rebels and Empires is the untold history of Hollywood’s most storied epic.

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.

In the vein of What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, a practical guide to help young professionals recognize the ideals and subconscious behaviors holding them back in their careers.Many ambitious young professionals today find themselves disengaged and disillusioned. Accustomed to steady progress and consistent recognition, they now feel stuck, ineffective, and overlooked. They aren’t sure whether the problem lies within themselves, their managers, or the capitalist system. While these challenges are unique to the early career stage, they are incredibly common. Pino G. Audia, John A. Byrne, and Marshall Goldsmith have seen this pattern repeatedly—among MBA students, new managers, consultants, and analysts; in both corporations and startups; across industries and continents.The cause is neither bumbling managers nor broken pipelines, they argue. It’s the “idealism paradox,” where even the smartest, most hard-working people become trapped by their own beliefs. The qualities that made them so promising—faith in hard work, honesty, and fairness—can also blind them to the realities of power, perception, and persuasion within organizations. But you don’t have to abandon your ideals to succeed; you need to learn how to pursue them effectively.Work IQ teaches young workers how to recognize when their expectations and assumptions are undermining their progress—and how to adapt their behavior without losing their integrity or sense of purpose. It identifies common misconceptions and explains: <ul><li>Why hard work isn’t enough;</li><li>Why you can’t expect your manager to look out for your best interests;</li><li>Why people pleasing derails progress;</li><li>Why the impulse to quit is usually about purpose, not the job itself;</li><li>And more.</li></ul> Drawing on focus groups, interviews, surveys, and academic research—as well as decades of coaching and teaching young professionals—Work IQ helps young employees get ahead while remaining true to their authentic selves. It is an essential playbook to help the next generation overcome their unique challenges, achieve success, make a difference, and find meaning, purpose, and joy along the way.This is the go-to guide for success at work, revealing:Insights for a New Generation: Work IQ is the essential guide for young professionals who feel disengaged, stuck, and unrecognized in their careers—and aren’t sure why.The Cause of Career Stagnancy: The authors explain how the qualities that have made today’s young professionals so promising and ensured their past success can unintentionally hinder their progress today, what they call the “idealism paradox.”Myths of the Workplace: The authors debunk widespread misconceptions—such as expecting hard work to speak for itself or that managers will behave like teachers—revealing the gap between our assumptions about workplaces and how they actually operate.Secrets to Success: Work IQ breaks down what really contributes to success in the workplace and offers guidance on how to adjust behavior without compromising personal integrity or purpose.

Predictable Profits

How water infrastructure finance drives the size of our water bills, who can afford them, and the geography of urban landscapes. “Water crises” have emerged in the US with increasing regularity, from Flint, MI to Jackson, MS. Simultaneously, the rise in water bills for the past decade has far outpaced the rising cost of groceries, gas, or electricity, leading more Americans to add water to the growing list of their unaffordable basic necessities. Water and Wall Street by Martin Doyle, Lauren Patterson, and Erika Smull uncovers how the seemingly arcane world of infrastructure finance underlies these and other water trends in US cities, and how water infrastructure shapes the most basic landscape of cities and suburbs. The authors begin by describing the basics of how water infrastructure works, and more importantly, how it is financed by municipal bonds, the backbone of urban finance. They then trace the history of municipal bonds for water from the founding of Philadelphia in the eighteenth century to the bankruptcy of Detroit in the twenty-first. Along the way, they also explore financial geography: how water bills, water affordability, and the peculiarities of infrastructure finance create distinct geographies of water capital. Finally, they take a speculative look at alternative future states for our cities, our infrastructure, and our water.
