More and more people in the workforce — and most knowledge workers — will have to MANAGE THEMSELVES.  They will have to place themselves where they can make the greatest contribution;  they will have to learn to develop themselves.  They will have to learn to stay young and mentally alive during a fifty-year working life.  They will have to learn how and when to change what they do, how they do it and when they do it.
