Social wealth or status is one of the most underrated types of wealth that exist because we naturally don’t think of status as a form of wealth. We understand that status has value but we never make the connection that it’s actually a type of wealth.
Career-Business management is more or less like the organisational management; after all an organisation is nothing but an assortment of individuals! The process of career management begins with the formulation of goals and objectives those that are short term or meant to be achieved in the short run.
This is a tedious task compared to a long term career goal which is more or visionary in nature. Since the objective is short term or immediate, it is more of action oriented. Second it demands achievement every day, every moment. Again this step can be very difficult for those who are not aware of the opportunities available or are not completely conscious of their talents. However more specific, measurable and achievable the goals greater are the chances of the management plan bearing fruit.
Achievement of goal requires a well chalked strategy, which implies a plan of action to achieve the goal. This has to be followed by drafting or establishment of procedures / policies / norms or rules that govern action or practice.
The final step in the career-business management process is evaluation of the career management plan for ensuring that progress is being made or if there is a need to introduce some changes in the latter.
One may also utilize the services of various career assessment tests at various stages to choose career paths that are in tandem with ones likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses.
