Neustart nach Kündigung mit 50+
A practical guide for managers and executives
Michael Pröschel
About the book
This book is not a motivational guide.
It's a structured roadmap for executives and managers facing the question of what's next after redundancy or a severance agreement. Written by someone who walked this exact path himself.
Contents
6 chapters for your restart
From emotional processing to law and strategy to a successful restart in the job market.
