Managing Your Career (HBR Working Parents Series) - Hardcover

by Harvard Business Review (Author), Daisy Dowling (Author), Stewart D. Friedman (Author)

Everything working parents need to make career choices that work for them, from navigating tradeoffs to finding time for personal development.

• Compiles the best advice from our Harvard Business Review community of experts to help readers solve their biggest problems, anticipate challenges, learn how to advocate for themselves, juggle their impossible schedules, manage stress, and find fulfillment at home and at work.
• Provides a variety of tactics on a targeted challenge of working parenthood. Gives readers access to different approaches to try that are grounded in research and practice, under the HBR Brand, with Daisy Wademan Dowling as our expert SME.

Audience:

• Sleep-deprived, stressed out working parents who feel as though they are letting everyone--colleagues/boss, family, and themselves--down every day. These readers are longing for strategies, tips, tricks, and stories to inspire them, to help them do and feel better, and to let them know they are not alone. We imagine a secondary audience of folks who are considering becoming parents or who are expecting their first kid. Finally, there could be a third smaller audience of childless bosses or administrators (HR) who are trying to better understand what their employees are up against.
• We're taking a broad approach for this series. We're targeting both mothers and fathers. We're looking at parents in all stages--from people who are considering becoming parents to those juggling young children and babies to folks who are handling the teenage years and beyond. This series will be for people of all family structures (married, unmarried, partnered, living in multigenerational homes), and for both knowledge workers and those earning hourly wages.
