Faced with a world of frantic business change, threatened by the disappearance of job security, what do you do? For some the answer is to keep your head low and wait for early retirement. That's sad enough if you're fifty, but how about forty? Or thirty? Or less? Survival certainly has to be a consideration, but it shouldn't be enough. We all have dreams, goals, things we desperately want to do in a short life. Perhaps it's time to take a different viewpoint.

The Chameleon Manager is about taking that different view, about working your way, not their way. Just as a set of management skills were developed through the twentieth century to cope with the pressures of production line business, so a new set of skills are emerging to manage amongst world-wide communications, organisational reform and constant, relentless change. The Chameleon Manager starts from your dream portfolio, the activities you would be doing if there were no restraints other than your own talents. From there it builds on the skills which are necessary to give your dreams a chance. There are no certainties in this - but then, the only certainty in a conventional job these days is that it isn't going to last for life.

The Chameleon Manager is about flexibility, about responsiveness - but it's about fun too. Fun and business have rarely been effectively paired. After all, fun's much too touchy-feely, and anyway business is a very serious ... business. Yet the basis of the Chameleon Manager is your dream portfolio - which surely ought to have fun in it somewhere. You have been warned.
