Find that job: Lesson 74. Show talent in the brand YOU world
According to Tom Peters, one of the most influential business thinkers of our age, the industrial age is over and we have entered the Age of Talent. With the corporate security gone the only foolproof source of job security is yes, your talent. The edge you have over the others. Your experience. Your brand. The brand called YOU.
According to Tom Peters, the prophet of modern business thinking, the industrial age is over. The white-collar paper processing age is over. Great products are not enough. Great services are not enough either. You are not going 'to make it' in the New Economy solely by pushing CI (Continuous Improvement). What matters is CREATIVITY!...IMAGINATION!... INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL! ENTREPRENEURIAL DRIVE! TALENT!
So if you want to make it in the brand new world of New Economy you have to show talent. Remember, it's the brand YOU world. The edge you have over the others. Your experience. Your brand. You are not an employee any more. You are not personnel. You are talent. Talent is all there is.
And the good news is that even when there is a 'glut' in the labour market there is still a big talent shortage. In fact, companies are fighting for talent; it matters to them more than ever. Why? - Because talent is not about 'labour'. And it's not about 'bodies in the office'. Talent is about those who score high on the distinct scale. So work on that distinctive brand called YOU.
