Herminia Ibarra

How Successful Career Changers Turn Fantasy into Reality Whether as a daydream or a spoken desire, nearly all of us have entertained the notion of reinventing ourselves. Feeling unfulfilled, burned out, or just plain unhappy with what we’re doing, we long to make that leap into the unknown. But we also hold on, white-knuckled, to the years of time and effort we’ve invested in our current profession. In this powerful book, Herminia Ibarra presents a new model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we’ve learned from "career experts." While common wisdom holds that we must first know what we want to do before we can act, Ibarra argues that this advice is backward. Knowing , she says, is the result of doing and experimenting . Career transition is not a straight path toward some predetermined identity, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of "possible selves" we might become. Based on her in-depth research on professionals and managers in transition, Ibarra outlines an active process of career reinvention that leverages three ways of "working identity": experimenting with new professional activities, interacting in new networks of people, and making sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities. Through engrossing stories—from a literature professor turned stockbroker to an investment banker turned novelist—Ibarra reveals a set of guidelines that all successful reinventions share. She explores specific ways that hopeful career changers of any background can: A call to the dreamer in each of us, Working Identity explores the process for crafting a more fulfilling future. Where we end up may surprise us.

You aspire to lead with greater impact. The problem is you’re busy executing on today’s demands. You know you have to carve out time from your day job to build your leadership skills, but it’s easy to let immediate problems and old mind-sets get in the way. Herminia Ibarra—an expert on professional leadership and development and a renowned professor at INSEAD, a leading international business school—shows how managers and executives at all levels can step up to leadership by making small but crucial changes in their jobs, their networks, and themselves. In Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader , she offers advice to help • Redefine your job in order to make more strategic contributions• Diversify your network so that you connect to, and learn from, a bigger range of stakeholders• Become more playful with your self-concept, allowing your familiar—and possibly outdated—leadership style to evolveIbarra turns the usual “think first and then act” philosophy on its head by arguing that doing these three things will help you learn through action and will increase what she calls your outsight —the valuable external perspective you gain from direct experiences and experimentation. As opposed to insight, outsight will then help change the way you think as a about what kind of work is important; how you should invest your time; why and which relationships matter in informing and supporting your leadership; and, ultimately, who you want to become.Packed with self-assessments and practical advice to help define your most pressing leadership challenges, this book will help you devise a plan of action to become a better leader and move your career to the next level. It’s time to learn by doing.

Sea soñando despierto o como un deseo expresado oralmente, prácticamente todos hemos acariciado la idea de cambiar nuestra vida. Nos sentimos poco realizados, quemados, o simplemente infelices con lo que hacemos y anhelamos dar ese salto a lo desconocido. Pero, por otro lado, nos aferramos con todas nuestras fuerzas a los años de tiempo y esfuerzo invertidos en nuestra profesión actual. En este potente libro, Herminia Ibarra presenta un nuevo modelo de reinvención. Mientras que la sabiduría tradicional afirma que antes de actuar es necesario saber qué queremos hacer, Ibarra declara que este consejo es un atraso. Saber, dice, es el resultado de hacer y experimentar. La transición profesional no es un camino directo hacia una identidad predeterminada, sino un viaje tortuoso a lo largo del cual probamos un conjunto diverso de "personalidades posibles" en las que podemos convertirnos. Basándose en la detallada investigación que ha llevado a cabo con profesionales y directivos en transición, Ibarra describe un proceso activo de reinvención de la carrera profesional que parte de tres formas de "identidad profesional": la experimentación con nuevas actividades profesionales, la interacción con nuevas redes de contactos y el dar sentido a lo que nos sucede teniendo en consideración las posibilidades emergentes.

Sie wollen wirkungsvoller führen, aber die alltäglichen To-dos stehen Ihnen im Weg? Ihnen ist bewusst, dass Sie sich aktiv Zeit nehmen müssen, um Ihre Führungsqualitäten auszubauen, aber Sie hängen in akuten Problemstellungen und traditionellen Denkmustern fest?Herminia Ibarra zeigt, wie Sie eine bessere Führungskraft werden, indem Sie kleine, aber feine Veränderungen in Ihrer Arbeit, Ihrem Netzwerk und sich selbst anstoßen, indem Ihre Arbeit neu definieren, Ihr Netzwerk erweitern, um mit unterschiedlichen Menschen in Kontakt zu treten und von ihnen zu lernen, sich selbst neu erfinden und so vertraute – und tendenziell veraltete – Führungsmuster ablegen.Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader stellt die altbekannte Redewendung „Erst denken, dann handeln“ auf den Kopf, denn nur durch die Erfahrungen aus aktivem Handeln und Experimentieren, gewinnen Führungskräfte den wertvollen Blick über den Tellerrand („Outsight“, wie Ibarra es nennt), der hilft zu erkennen, welche Arbeit für sie wichtig ist, wie sie ihre Zeit sinnvoll investieren, warum und welche Beziehungen wichtig sind und wer sie schließlich sein wollen.
