# The Long Game

A book authored by [[entity-dorie-clark]], subtitled *"How to Be a Long-Term Thinker in a Short-Term World."*

**Canonical context.** Its theme — long-term thinking and intentional career design — supports the article's emphasis on constructing a [[concept-portfolio-career]] that is *substantively* coherent and aligned with a leader's long-term trajectory, rather than an opportunistic scramble for gigs.
