The career path of a manager from graduation on her way to the boardroom is full of unexpected surprises. It might sometimes even feel like you are playing the ancient Indian board game of Snakes & Ladders, known to Americans as Chutes & Ladders.
At the Lucid Manager, we have created the ultimate career simulation with Corporate Snakes and Ladders to express the trials and tribulations of a professional career. Who will get to the boardroom first?
Career Simulator
The objective of the Corporate Snakes & Ladders is to navigate by rolling a die, from your graduation (the bottom-left square) to the boardroom (top-right square). On your career journey you are either helped or hindered by ladders or corporate snakes. This game is based on the articles on the Half-Hour MBA, which help you to become a Lucid Manager.
Studying to obtain an MBA and buying a new suit will certainly help you in your career. Be careful though of personality tests, you might give the wrong answers! As your career progresses you are expected to start multitasking but alas it does not make you more productive.
The secrets behind the corporate veil are lifted once you realise that perception is reality and that Generation Y does not exist, which helps you to manage your middle management stress, for which you are grateful.
At the end of the game, you might or might not enter the board room. The main purpose of this career simulator is to help you recognise the illusions of management. A business or any other organsiation is merely a human construct that has no objective reality.
