How You View Your Career Changes Your Future (Advice from the Ex-COO of Meta)
If you look at your career as a ladder, you look for the next promotion.
You’re always looking for the next rung that immediately leads to more money, status, and/or power.
Anything that doesn’t qualify as getting you more of those isn’t a “good” next step.
That’s why I love the view Sheryl Sandberg included in her book Lean In.
“Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.
One of the things I tell people these days is that there is no perfect fit when you’re looking for the next big thing to do.
You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around.
The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.”
