Introduction -- Rise of the glue people -- Becoming pareto optimal -- The power of mindset -- How big data can make you better -- The economics of managing -- Navigating the winner-take-all world -- When software ate the world -- Should I stay or should I go? -- What is a job, anyway? -- A quarter-million hours.
"In How to Win in a Winner-Take-All World, Neil Irwin, senior economic correspondent at the New York Times, delivers the essential guide to being successful in today's economy when the very notion of the "job" is shifting and the corporate landscape has become dominated by global firms. He shows that the route to success lies in cultivating the ability to bring multiple specialties together--to become a "glue person" who can ensure people with radically different technical skills work together effectively--and how a winding career path makes you better prepared for today's fast-changing world. Through original data, close analysis, and case studies, Irwin deftly explains the 21st century economic landscape and its implications for ambitious people seeking a lifetime of professional success." -- From Amazon.com summary.
