winner-take-all
and
auction
.
In a winner-take-all market,
there is only one type of career
capital available and lots of
different people competing for it.
An auction market, by contrast,
is less structured: There are


many different types of career
capital, and each person might
generate their own unique
collection of this capital.
Different markets require
different career capital
acquisition strategies. In a
winner-take-all market, for
example, you need to first “crack
the code” on how people master
the one skill that matters. In an
auction market, by contrast, you
might simply emphasize rareness
in the skill combinations that you
create.
control
(introduced in 
Rule #3
): 


Control is having a say in what
you do and how you do it. This
is one of the most important
traits to acquire with your career
capital when creating work you
love.
the first control trap
(introduced
in 
Rule #3
): A warning to heed
when trying to introduce more
control into your working life. It
represents the principle that
control that’s acquired without
career capital is not sustainable.
the second control trap
(introduced in 
Rule #3
): 
Another warning to heed when


trying to introduce more control
into your working life. It
represents the principle that
when you acquire enough career
capital to acquire meaningful
control over your working life,
that’s exactly when you’ve
become valuable enough to your
current employer that they will
try to prevent you from making
the change.
courage culture
(briefly
introduced in 
Rule #2
; elaborated
in 
Rule #3
): A term that
describes the growing number of
authors and online commentators


who promote the idea that the
only thing standing between you
and a dream job is building the
courage to step off the expected
path.
Though well-intentioned, this
culture is dangerous, as it
underplays the importance of
also having career capital to back
up your career aspirations. It has
led many people to quit their
current job and to end up in a
new situation where they are
much worse off than before.
