If you think that gaining a senior position is the place you want to find yourself, let me assure you that the journey is much more important than the position. This is because when you’re on the journey, it’s easier to see in which direction you’re moving, and easier to check that it’s the right direction. There’s a tendency to stop, look around and compare once you reach a position, and then it’s all to easy to find yourself drifting in the wrong direction simply because you’re not moving with purpose. So as a leader, it’s critical to stay on the move, looking outwards to see where you should be aiming for in your life journey.
