Managing Careers at Michelin

At a time of increasing debate over the advantages of careers in big
companies, here is a view from the inside of what takes place at Michelin.
This legendary company, renowned throughout the world but still with a strong
family grass-roots identity, is a career management model.
More than a book about a company, this is an outstanding example of career
management in practice, with its methods and tools, its successes as well as
its disappointments. This approach to career management goes far beyond short
term operational needs. It gives pride of place to each person’s individual
qualities and potential to develop, including internationally.

In addition to an explanation of the “Michelin model”, the authors give their
personal, often humorous angles on essential questions facing senior
management and HR directors in large and mid-size companies:

• How to attract and retain the best people?

• How to share company values?

• How to encourage employees to express and develop all their potential?...

And every employee will find advice on a wide range of career issues and
personal concerns:

• To get on, should I change companies or stick with one?
• How to change career direction, how to construct an international career
path?
• How to progress at the right pace, to reach my personal peak, and preserve
my work-life balance?...
