A Guide for the Idealist is a must for young professionals seeking
to put their idealism to work. Speaking to urban and regional
planners and those in related fields, the book provides tools for
the reader to make good choices, practice effectively, and find
meaning in planning work. Built around concepts of idealism and
realism, the book takes on the gap between the expectations and the
constraints of practice. How to make an impact? How to decide when
to compromise and when to fight for a core value? The book advises
on career "launching" issues: doubt, decision-making, assessing
types of work and work settings, and career planning. Then it
explains principled adaptability as professional style. Subsequent
chapters address early-practice issues: being right, avoiding
wrong, navigating managers, organizations and teams, working with
mentors, and understanding the career journey. Underpinning these
dimensions is a call for planners to reflect on what they are doing
as they are doing it. The advice provided is based on the
experience of a planning professor who has also practiced planning
throughout his career. The book includes personal anecdotes from
the author and other planners about how they launched and managed
their careers, and discussion/reflection questions for the reader
to consider.
