Am I in the right place in my job?

We all ask ourselves this question! But, in reality, it hides many other dimensions:

  • I'm going in circles in my club and I want to know how to become the main actor in my professional life again.
  • I am successful, but I wonder if what I am doing makes sense;
  • Am I in my place in my responsibilities to others, when I feel alone in carrying certain values?

At a time when some people feel in a routine and cannot exploit their potential, when others work hard by questioning their sense of responsibility, the solution will no longer come from our professional environment.

We must be able to clarify our vision for ourselves and translate it into scenarios capable of positively impacting our colleagues and work partners, and then take action by mobilizing what makes us confident in ourselves: that is self-leadership.

This book has 8 pillars that will give meaning to your personal commitment, in order to ask you the right questions throughout your professional career: assess the viability of the roles you play at work, identify what gives you energy, reveal the drivers that move you forward, and write scenarios for your professional development.

The press and the readers

With Jean-Yves Mercier, no ready-made recipes or simplistic solutions. Through this book, he invites us to gain perspective and to discover the field of possibilities before plunging back into action with confidence and serenity.

On the central theme of Self-Leadership, unfortunately, there was very little literature with a European perspective, and even less in French. This book brioches this deficiency brilliantly. This book is for those of us who feel we are looking for meaning in our careers, offering concrete and practical tools to clarify our vision and translate it into action. It is a valuable resource for those looking to align their work with their personal aspirations. By focusing on self-leadership, Mercier offers a practical approach to navigating today's professional challenges.

FABULOUS. I am not reading this book, I am enjoying it! In the end, Crozier diagnoses and Mercier repairs. It's useful and it's great!
