About the Book
Promotions Are So Yesterday is the recipient of the 2023 Bronze Medal from the Axiom Business Book Awards in the category of Success/Motivation/Coaching and the 2023 Nautilus Book Award in the category of Business & Leadership (Self Pub/small Press).
The time-honored tradition of defining career development exclusively in terms of promotions, moves, and title changes is dead. Beyond, between, and besides the climb up the positional ladder, there are many other ways that employees can—and want to—grow. However, many organizations still operate under the notion that promotions are the only option for career development, leaving employees disengaged, managers frustrated, and the business disadvantaged in its efforts to retain talent.
The good news is that career development is so much more than promotions alone, and managers are in a powerful position to redefine career development and create positive results for their employees and their organizations in this area.
In Promotions Are So Yesterday, Julie Winkle Giulioni offers you a new approach for developing your employees’ careers and helping them thrive in a company when promotions are not readily available. Discover an easy-to-apply framework of seven alternative dimensions of development (contribution, competence, confidence, connection, challenge, contentment, and choice) that will engage your employees—dynamic opportunities for growth that are completely within your control as a manager.
Promotions Are So Yesterday is filled with practical advice, nearly 100 questions to spark reflection and productive dialogue, and actionable templates and tools that managers can use with employees. Help bring your employees and your organization to even greater achievement with a strategy that will increase your employees’ job satisfaction, performance, knowledge, and skills, and strengthen your organization’s workforce.

About the Online Book Club
I’m so excited about facilitating this book club. When I wrote Promotions Are SO Yesterday, I knew it would become a helpful tool for managers and leaders struggling with career development in today’s more complex environment. But it’s through exploring these concepts – as well as our mental models – with others that I’ve seen the ideas really take hold and make a difference.
So, get ready to challenge your current thinking, update old assumptions and practices, and explore a 21st century approach to career development. Through discussions and activities, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about your own motivations as well as your employees’. You’ll get to process and internalize a new framework for ensuring the engagement and growth employees want – and your organization needs. And we’ll dig into how you can apply the concepts from the book to your own workplace situations. Think part book club, part masterclass, part real-time peer coaching… and a whole lot of fun during our four weeks together.
