Summary.
How can you ensure that you achieve your definition of career success? The author offers five questions to ask yourself: 1) How fulfilled am I? 2) How am I learning and growing? 3) Am I headed in the right direction? 4) What seeds do I need to plant now? 5) What relationships do I need to build? Stepping back and asking yourself these questions will help you be more intentional in managing your career and will inform your planning and actions for the year ahead.
Career stewardship is about being purposeful and proactive in taking ownership of your career. It’s a concept that I and my colleagues at Next Step Partners, the leadership development firm I co-founded, have espoused in working with thousands of executives collectively over the last two decades.
