Objectives: The Basics for Success

By Nahid Chicani

In an increasingly demanding and competitive market, to achieve professional success depends on planning, discipline, strength of will, capacity for adaptation and equilibrium. Successful people achieve success because, in the first place, they know exactly where they intend to go, set goals to be reached and then move in that direction.

The kind of activity or the stage of the career doesn’t matter - whether it is a young talent starting out on the road, or a professional who has already accumulated experience - these five requirements gain the strength of an axiom in the context of striving in the professional market. He who is entering the market must be clear about what will be required of him. Today, one foreign language is no longer sufficient, nor is a university diploma. A second of third language becomes a differential plus, as does an MBA or another specialization course, or even an international experience. The already-established professionals also suffer the same pressure, perhaps even greater, because they must permanently recycle their knowledge, since experience by itself is not a synonym for stability.

The Fortunate Dismissal

By Ekaterina Dranytsyna, The St. Petersburg Times

A CEO of a large corporation enters the meeting room and hears the verdict of the company’s board. “You’re fired. And here is your $30 million,” says one of the directors. Sounds like fiction, like a perversion of “The Apprentice” reality show? But, it is not. In May this year Forbes published a list of CEOs notably familiar with the procedure. In business slang, those happy occasions are called “golden parachutes,” which stands for lucrative benefits given to key executives when a company is taken over by another firm, resulting in the loss of their job.
