You don't need an MBA to know that business is undergoing a radical transformation. Corporate leaders must keep pace with these changes, of course, but so should the people they employ. Harry Dent Jr. writes about the future of work from the workers' perspective in The Great Jobs Ahead, outlining his optimistic view of how employees can act more creatively and thus increase their own value -- as well as their company's -- as computers take over industry's more mundane tasks.

This review is from: The Great Jobs Ahead: Your Comprehensive Guide to Surviving and Prospering in the Coming Work Revolution (Paperback)
This book is a fantastic way to get that extra "edge" and prepare yourself for a changing job market.Two sections are particularly outstanding reading: "Four Principles Driving the Work Revolution" should be in the hands of every job-seeker, hirer, and manager in business. "Leveraging the New Entrepreneurial Climate" is worth the price of the book alone as an investment in anyone's future! It includes these terrific chapters: ...."For the Heroic: Strategies for Creating a Breakthrough Start-Up" ...."For the Creative: Become an 'Intrapreneur' Within Your Company" ...."For the Homebody: Turn Your Job or Function into a Subcontract Business"
