Career tips from Dan Pink (and some other folks)

There’s a lot of media buzz around Dan Pink’s new book, ‘The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need‘, a career advice book, presented manga-style.

The author must be in cahoots with Garr Reynolds, from Presentation Zen (one of the blogs I follow), because Mr. Reynolds is promoting the book via a 184-page summary (!) on slideshare.

Here’s the copy from the money slide, summing up the book’s advice (my elaborations in parens.):

1. There is no plan (except your own)
2. Think strengths not weaknesses
3. It’s not about you; it’s about adding value (help people or solve a problem)
