What does it take to have a successful career? I suppose it depends on several things, one of which is your definition of success. My idea of a successful career is one where I am challenged to become a better person and leader. One where I’m always learning, and have opportunities to excel and support growth for my clients or employer. One where I can improve processes by developing leaders that can implement changes for improvement. So for that definition of success it takes commitment, willingness to accept a reasonable level of risk, and lots of hard work. It requires looking out for ways you can help others finish stronger, being alert to opportunities to stretch yourself and support your manager. Most of all, it requires confidence in yourself that you can succeed.
