Advice from an experienced colleague. I have sometimes wished there were a fixed person at work I could turn to, the way I would go to a teacher at school when I did not understand something. Unfortunately, no such person is assigned to us. We have to figure things out ourselves. As a result, many people take the harder route, experience repeated failures, and cannot recover from a slump. In this respect, this book fills that gap. The author has experience across different companies and kinds

A book where you can hear from an experienced colleague about how to do your job well. I would like to recommend this guide to company life, written by an author who spent 20 years at leading companies, to people just starting out in their careers. To build a solid career portfolio, you need a role model whose path reflects the kind of career you want. If you do not know anyone like that, you can find one in a book. Now you can hear about his experience and look for the heart of his advice. The

I hope this book helps you understand how people who keep succeeding do their work well, and what influences the decision to continue in a particular line of work. Some say they are so overwhelmed that “something major could happen at any moment.” In a situation like this, some people lose heart, while others bravely(?) keep doing their jobs well. They work hard even as people around them call them reckless. Inevitably, some are good at their jobs and others are not. But being good at work does

For most people, the first thing they think about after graduating from college is finding a job. These days, plenty of people start their own businesses or pursue other kinds of work instead of taking a conventional job, but most still initially think of joining a company. After struggling to land a job, getting through the new-hire period, and becoming comfortable with the work, all kinds of questions begin: Is this work right for me? Should I stay at this company? Will I fall behind if I

A statistic says that nine out of ten employees are currently concerned about their careers. Beyond changing careers or jobs, they face the challenge of making choices and taking action constantly in every aspect of working life, from relationships and performance to promotions and salary. Some people remain trapped in these endless worries, going around in circles, while others move forward by resolving problems confidently according to their own convictions and philosophy. What makes the

Just as we need values and a philosophy to live our lives, we also need a philosophy for our work. If we do not grow while belonging to a workplace, we fall behind. We need beliefs and values about work to guide our growth, direction, and resolve. If someone who joined around the same time as you is thriving and advancing in their field while you are the only one being passed over for promotion without making progress, you should reconsider your values about work and ask whether you have done

Even when people experience the same situation, reality, or phenomenon, those who achieve growth or success overcome crises and move toward the life and results they want through a distinctive perspective, way of thinking, and direct action. This self-help book advises readers who want to grow and succeed on how to overcome negative factors in various problems and situations and live better lives. It reflects real-world concerns, making it a useful guide for learning from and relating to. The

How long does it take to establish a philosophy of work? Even if you have worked in one field for more than ten years, I think all that experience can come to nothing if you still have no philosophy or ideas about your work. In that respect, this book is very impressive. Looking at the author’s résumé, you might think he is extraordinary. But many people have impressive experience and credentials that amount to little more than appearances. As I read, I felt that the author had developed a

The Philosophy of My Work. I became interested in this book because the author’s career seemed intriguing: unlike people who have spent their lives in a single role and present that specialty as their strength, he has moved among several companies and different jobs. Seeing that he had worked at places almost every Korean would recognize, I thought he must be one of those people who are exceptionally good at their jobs. I wanted to know why he had changed roles, and what someone from an older
