Corporate life has terminals, queues, upgrades and lost luggage.
The book explores the familiar but rarely explained parts of working life: promotions, visibility, politics, reorganisations, leadership changes, networking, career moves and the quiet art of surviving the terminal without losing your luggage.
It is designed to be useful, human and honest, without becoming a dusty management textbook wearing a lanyard.
Eight stages, one career journey.
Each stage of the airport journey provides a way to explore a different part of career navigation.
