I'm 55 and I Hate My Job: Stories and Solutions from an Executive Coach

Since beginning his executive coaching career, Scott Robinson has found a recurring theme in some of his work. Even with executives who have reached some of the highest levels in their companies, there still seems to be a lack of engagement and job satisfaction. What many of these executives say can be summed up in some version of the statement: "I'm 55 and I hate my job." Do any of these situations sound familiar? - Your career path has been decided by the company. You want to determine your own future. - You would quit in a minute, but your income provides a great lifestyle. You can't afford to quit. - You're tired of the rat race and would like to spend the next 10 years giving back in a meaningful way. - You have been promoted to a C-suite position, but your former position has not been filled. Now you have two jobs. - Your father "gave" you the business. It was his dream but it is not yours. - You were happy and successful in your job, so you were "promoted" to management. You never wanted to be a manager. This book looks at challenges faced by more than two dozen executives frustrated by jobs they no longer enjoy. The solutions for their problems were not "one size fits all." Their solutions offer facts, insight, and inspiration that can help you learn to love your job or to move on to a more meaningful career.
