Why Success Depends on Thinking Like an Owner

In an effort to get ahead in our careers, we test out new leadership tactics like we change our clothes. Whatever the current fad – from Lean Processes, to Management by Objective, to Agile Leadership – it’s easy to get sucked into the next promise of get-successful-quick.

Building Your Career is a Journey

I had an event to attend and had to drive all by myself to the venue, a task I honestly didn’t fancy. So I got the directions though I didn’t quite grab them, set off all the same. Following the traffic signs and going by the directions in my head I made a right turn at some point and found myself on a wrong route, luckily I was able to ask people on the streets for directions and I was back on the highway.

I almost aborted the journey but with a clear objective of attending this event, no matter how long it took, getting there was it for me. Building a career is like going on a journey…Read more
