Career Ambition - PeopleTek
Leadership tip
Seven items have been identified that impede individuals from obtaining their dream job (excerpts from For your Improvement by Michael Lombardo and Robert Eichinger).
- Unsure of what career is truly desired.
- Bored, in the wrong organization, or in the wrong career.
- Unwilling to make sacrifices to get ahead.
- Unclear on how careers really work and how people get ahead.
- Inability to market oneself, stand out, get noticed.
- Hesitant to express career wants, needs and desires.
- Stuck in a comfort zone; unwilling to take a career risk.
How to get started:
- Assess your strengths and identify and take action on your weaknesses.
- Obtain a mentor and establish a "board of directors" that will provide you with objective and meaningful feedback.
- Identify all "dream job" options.
- Step out of your comfort zone and don't become complacent.
- Share and make your successes known to clients, peers, and bosses.
- Get a coach. They will help you determine what you really want and keep you focused on your dream.
