		<description><![CDATA[Your workplace has changed radically during the past five years and will continue to change during the next five years. It may seem that the best thing to do is sit back and wait until things settle to plan your next career move, since long-term planning seems futile. The truth is that this is the best time to examine options, plan career advancement, and take control of your own career success. Not doing so may lead your career to obsolescence.

		<description><![CDATA[If you don't feel connected at work you are less likely to receive a promotion and more likely to leave the organization within one year. As a result, developing relationship skills - the ability to work with a variety of personalities, active listening, and openness to other's ideas - can yield great results on the job. The same elements you use to develop relationships off the clock are the same that relationship management, networking, and social interaction skills you use to develop your career relationships.
