You are on top of your career. You love the job you're doing. You were rated 'excellent' in your latest assessment. But, for reasons beyond your control, you have just been fired.

The modern executive faces many challenges. The old days of steady jobs in safe posts are gone. Technology is transforming work, rendering jobs obsolete and constantly moving the goalposts for performance. But the responsibilities and priorities remain as they always were: to the company, the colleagues one works with or leads, to one's family and oneself. How does one keep improving one's skills and getting more from life? In this scenario of contradictory goals and ambidextrous skills, the secret lies in 'thinking smart'.

Faced with his own crisis, Nirmalya Kumar, renowned professor, recognized globally for his marketing and strategy expertise, used the experience to come out as a winner. Here is a book reminiscent of Peter Drucker's classic, Managing Oneself. Given in bite-sized, easily accessible chapters are ideas and wisdom that will help readers in their own lives and careers, from managing people, teams, strategy, finances to even a few tips on managing life.
