Publishers Weekly -
Comparing the relentless spread of corporate downsizing with a concept the ancient Greeks labeled chaos, Waitley (Empires of the Mind) points out that in the 1960s, scientists began determining that chaos is a natural phenomenon that can be understood and (within limits) managed. That was the beginning of chaos theory. What does this have to do with downsizing? According to Waitley, it means that since corporations are expected to continue streamlining the work force, we will have to live with that kind of chaos by building flexibility into our career goals. We can, for instance, consider opportunities for self-employment and develop skills that open doors to a variety of opportunities. With risk now an integral part of most jobs, the author urges workers to exploit it for opportunity. Begin, Waitley says, with a search for self-definition and let the inner person lead. These inspirational suggestions are for those who believe that the future has arrived too soon. Includes a 21-day "action plan." (Aug.)Library Journal
Waitley, whose Empires of the Mind was a BusinessWeek best seller, shows that flexibility can benefit goal-oriented folks.David Rouse
Many who set goals regard them as immutable, set in stone like commandments. But Waitley argues that the chaotic, unpredictable nature of things requires that flexibility be a factor when goal setting. He is the prolific author of motivational manuals and audiotapes, such as "The Psychology of Winning" (1979) and "Seeds of Greatness" (1983), and has designed a set of strategies called "flextactics," which help individuals and businesses adapt to change and disruption. While one stays focused on a primary mission, various individual goals can be altered or adjusted. Waitley lays out four fundamental rules that define peak performance and lead to goal achievement, explains the 12 strategies that constitute "flextactics," and offers a "twenty-one day action plan" for implementing his goal-setting techniques. Waitley's popularity will ensure interest in this new guide.Book Details
