Is your company at risk of getting “napstered”? Are you at risk of getting “napstered”? Your personal brand may be the only thing that can save you!
Blockbuster knows all too well what it means to get napstered. As an established company, Blockbuster railed against new technology because they were stubborn and afraid of change. New technology gave startups an opportunity to increase market share and eventually put Blockbuster out of business.
People can get napstered too! Just ask the millions of blue collar, hard working factory workers who can no longer find work since technology outpaced their skill sets. In this new economy and technologically advanced workplace, your personal brand is the one constant variable that can keep you relevant.
