Strategize to Win by Carla A Harris

Strategize to Win by Carla A Harris examines how today’s workplace has evolved and sets out a practical way to manage a career in environments that keep shifting. Drawing on her experience as a Wall Street veteran, Harris shares tools intended to support readers at different stages, from starting out to rebuilding momentum when progress slows, and recognising when it is time to move on from situations that are holding them back.

It also explores areas of working life that can feel hard to read, with guidance on identifying your work profile and using it effectively. Harris discusses preparing for a career change without returning to school or taking a step down, and outlines three essential skills associated with industry leaders, alongside ways to develop them. The book also considers how to tune into unspoken cues at work, how to thrive through change, and a method for planning a career in five-year units.
