I am not talking about your email inbox, but the iconic canned meat wonder from Hormel.\u00a0 In Bloomberg Businessweek’s “Spam’s Long March\u00a0in China<\/a>”\u00a0on August 4, 2011, we learn that SPAM’s introduction into the Chinese market will be priced\u00a040% higher than other canned meat brands.\u00a0 Essentially, SPAM will be launched as a premium meat brand.\u00a0 Dare I say, “Pass the Grey Poupon<\/a>!” Apparently, in China, the local luncheon meats are drier.\u00a0 SPAM\u00a0is juicier, so the thinking is that the local Chinese consumer will favor this foreign brand over local brands.<\/p>\n

If SPAM can have its China, then you can\u00a0have that in\u00a0your own career. Are your skills, talents, efforts and results being truly valued in your organization? Are you communicating these accomplishments to key stakeholders in your organization but are still not\u00a0getting the promotions, compensation and accolades that come along with these merits? If not, then\u00a0it is\u00a0time to\u00a0find a place that does.\u00a0 It\u00a0may not take a move to China, but it will certainly take some initiative on your part to find the organization that fits your work style, your personality and your life.\u00a0 If SPAM can do it, so can YOU!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
