Inhaltsangabe

In the past, a secure job came from working for a large, established organization, preferably a monopoly or market leader in a stable industry. The longer your service, stronger your union, higher your rank or the more specialized your knowledge or function, the more secure you were. But in today's world, experience may be your worst enemy! Everything that used to create security now creates insecurity! In fact, large companies have been the largest net job losers in the '90s. And over 80 percent of the technology that we will use in 20 years hasn't been invented yet!

What will prepare you for the future? Learn how to learn. Become self-corrective and self-reflective. Increase your creativity and work better as a team member. We have moved from a knowledge-based to a learning-based economy. Learning, changing and accepting uncertainty creates security. Paradoxically, these are what we fear most as adults! The Learning Paradox will teach you not only how to survive business in the 90s, but how to thrive!
