Definitive truths
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Tony has created a book that brings the harsh reality of our employment morality to light. Unfortunate truths of our "career" paths, but a beautiful painting of an otherwise possible grim reality. His book brings not only the hurdles of what we must overcome to our attention, but reminds that once we have accepted our roles-as-is, we have unintentionally become defeated. I recommend to all people who think they are "set."
A Review of "Employed for Life!"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
P. Anthony Burnham, Esq., prepares readers for the harsh reality that they may only be temporarily employed in today's "permanently changed workplace." Mr. Burnham stresses that successful leaders are self-managing and achieve results through an empowered workforce. Being a successful manager in this complex world requires innovative thinking combined with synthesis to shift employee paradigms. Learning is an ever-changing, continuous process. Mr. Burnham does a great job of identifying some of these paradigms through a case study of past, present, and future workplace changes. He emphasizes the importance of having the ability to create human value within a firm through identifying and communicating a workers worth on demand. He also stresses that creating a personal business plan for your future employment will help to achieve your goals. As a recent graduate from a masters program, this book has helped me prepare to become successfully "employed for life." Thank you Mr. Burnham! Sincerely, Edwin Joseph Coulter, MBA, MA/HRM

A perceptive, wise book by an author of experience
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This short, readable, well organized book is a must read for contemporary corporate employees. The days of permanent employment with a lifelong employer in the private sector are apparently gone. Burnham's quick, penetrating insights provide a guide to success in not only professional but personal terms. I hope it gets a wide reading.
