There's one simple thing, that most senior executives (most people generally) don't do when they are looking for a job. They don't do it out of fear - and that fear is misguided - or, I suppose, out of shame. In today's job hunt we depend on our informal network of personal ambassadors to help unearth possibilities. And yet, most job hunters don't tell the very people who would want to be their personal ambassadors. Related Content: What's in a personal value and what are mine?

What are the fantasies and fears, projections, and stereotypes that influence our behaviour in situations like this? Which ones help us survive today and which are legacies from our cave-man ancestors? When does our sense of outrage provoke us to act? When does our sense of decorum prevent us?

Most of us have fallen into our career. While the proportion of vocational to non- vocational degrees fluctuates, most people still end up in a career that just happened. They left school or college and looked around for a while, until eventually someone said to someone else, that Fred or Freda were looking for a job and sooner or later we started work.

In his address to Stanford Graduates in 2005, Steve Jobs said; "And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition". When we have an intuitive response to something it is often our personal values that are being touched upon. If it's a negative feeling then we are somehow anticipating that our personal values are going to be compromised.

Also, to signal what TQM guru Deming called "constancy of purpose," choose a name that will always resonate, e.g., something tied to customers and service. For example, more than 20 years after electronics test equipment maker Teradyne launched its improvement program, managers still refer to it as TQM. Organizations are overrun with improvement initiatives, from infrastructure overhauls to sales programs.

It makes Dorsey’s summation of his story a non sequitur: “A once-thriving American business loses share to the Pacific Rim, gets scared, adopts TQM practices, raises productivity, and begins to win back business. One of the best books ever written about selling is David Dorsey’s The Force. Dorsey turns a year in a Xerox sales district in Cleveland into a riveting drama about people, accounts, the operatic highs and lows of the sales cycle, and the triumph of making quota.
