The prediction, in brief:

You, Inc. is a reality.

Predictor: Grove, Andy

Prediction, in context:

In a 1998 article in Canadaone Magazine, Michael Rock quotes a 1995 article from Fortune magazine in which Andy Grove, founder and head of Intel, makes the following statement:”On a personal basis, we need to manage our own careers. You, Inc. is a reality. Even as an employee, we are really in business with one employer: ourselves. I know of one manager in a large organization who says, ‘My company is one of my clients.’ While not expecting it, he is always mentally and emotionally prepared for a possible layoff, downsizing, merger in his company. His EQ scores are also high as well. He realizes that today no one owes him a career. He is the sole proprietor. ”Answer three fundamental questions:”Am I adding real value or merely passing information along? ”Am I plugged into what’s happening around me? Inside the company? The industry? ”Am I innovative: trying new ideas, new techniques, and new technologies – personally?”
