This article was practical and heart-warming. It reminds us that our lives - including our jobs - are about gaining experience taking care of ourselves and understanding what we really want in our lives. The article strikes a balance in helping the reader create a "to do" list and in gaining insight into the emotional experience.

"When Bad Things Happen to Good Managers" is a great source for moving on after job loss and an outline for getting a new and better position. It describes in detail how everyone will lose a job and the mental plus physical problems that go along with that loss. Also it outlines how a person should search for a new position. A must read for everyone, because almost everyone will lose their job at some point.

This review is from: When Bad Things Happen To Good Managers: Dealing With Job Loss And Personal Life Change (Digital)

Every day the paper writes a story of hundreds or thousands of good people losing their job. While the same paper may also report new company start-ups or expansions, the truth is the unemployed manager is having a very hard time finding a great replacement offer.

How many times have you heard the story line: "Our parents worked for one company all their lives - our children will change jobs often before they reach retirement age." If many will change jobs, one of them just might be us.

Mr. Bowen's article faces the problem with a positive outlook! It is not an article to fix all the "fired" manager's problems. His 8 steps to prepare are thought starters for us all. Take the positive encouragement he provides and be ready. Use them to build a "kudo" file for your accomplishments.

If you never have to face being replaced, you have a file full of positive. When you are having a negative day, open your desk drawer and read how good, important and what a positive influence you truely are to your company.

The truth is that many will change jobs and that change may not be of our own choosing. You will be able to thank Mr. Bowen for having prepared you for change - or helping you identify the positive productful person that sits in your chair!
