Everyone begins their career path by doing tasks. Checking off the to-do list. All actions taken are task-focused. You’re getting a feel for it all, learning the basics, getting your feet underneath you and–if you’re lucky–making and learning from plenty of mistakes.
Often times without even noticing it, you move into the next phase of advancement. You ask smarter questions. You switch from asking “What is this?” to “Why is it this way?” All actions taken are improvement-focused. You’re now mindful of more than what happens within the four walls of your work; it’s now about the industry and all the people influencing it
The last phase of developing a career you can be proud of is cultural development. Everything you do is focused on benefiting others, ensuring this thing you built keeps running years down the line, and you exercise your experience of having gone through the other two phases by making it smoother and a more joyful ride for others to take.
Stay Positive & Where Are You?
