1: Brilliant Article
Brayton Bowen's article is a brilliant, brilliant piece of work. It is a must read for any one in the world's super competitive workplace. It is one of the most inspiring works, I have ever read on the subject of job loss. Brayton Bowen is one of the world's top minds on the subject of corporate organizational change.

2: Job Loss - Seeing all of the Parts
This article was practical and heart-warming. It reminds us that our lives - including our jobs - are about gaining experience taking care of ourselves and understanding what we really want in our lives. The article strikes a balance in helping the reader create a "to do" list and in gaining insight into the emotional experience.

3: It Can Happen To You!
Every day the paper writes a story of hundreds or thousands of good people losing their job. While the same paper may also report new company start-ups or expansions, the truth is the unemployed manager is having a very hard time finding a great replacement offer.

How many times have you heard the story line: "Our parents worked for one company all their lives - our children will change jobs often before they reach retirement age." If many will change jobs, one of them just might be us.

Mr. Bowen's article faces the problem with a positive outlook! It is not an article to fix all the "fired" manager's problems. His 8 steps to prepare are thought starters for us all. Take the positive encouragement he provides and be ready. Use them to build a "kudo" file for your accomplishments.

If you never have to face being replaced, you have a file full of positive. When you are having a negative day, open your desk drawer and read how good, important and what a positive influence you truely are to your company.

The truth is that many will change jobs and that change may not be of our own choosing. You will be able to thank Mr. Bowen for having prepared you for change - or helping you identify the positive productful person that sits in your chair!


4: An expensive advertisement
I found this little 9-page pamphlet to be little more than an expensive advertisement for the company Transformata Publishing LLC. I enjoyed "The Story of Janet" section, but found all the other information to be just plain common sense. I read it once and added it to the recycle bin.

5: Practical Professional and Personal Advice
Bowen packs a tremendous amount of practical advice into these pages. On the professional side, he presents sound steps for exiting the old job and finding a new one. He also addresses the personal side of the situation, including how to cope with job loss and use the time between jobs for reflection and self-discovery. This is a concise and useful document for managers who lose their jobs -- a large and growing group in today's economy.
