Abstract

The article focuses on the career-changing moments experienced by senior executives which can change one's mindset and attitude towards job. It says that an interview with 100 Senior Executive Service (SES) leaders was conducted during a year-long research project to bring out learning events. It presents four different scenarios at work in which storytelling plays an important role in each situation. It mentions several career survival tips which include increasing networking, reading books to enhance dialogue skills, and conducting an annual personal evaluation. It adds that as study participants shared their stories, they also express particular professional growth and paradigm changes that exceed any classroom demonstration.
