How to accelerate your career:
1. Solving problems that aren’t yours
Let small fires burn. Build systems that prevent them.
2. Staying because it’s comfortable
Update your resume monthly. Interview before you’re stuck.
3. Making yourself irreplaceable
Document your role. Train your replacement.
4. Thinking work friends are real friends
Schedule monthly coffee with someone two levels up.
5. Waiting for permission to lead
Find a broken process. Fix it without being asked.
6. Playing the wrong long-term game
Build skills that travel, not roots that trap.
7. Avoiding office politics
Build three allies above your pay grade.
8. Hiding behind hard work
Turn wins into visible process improvements.
9. Trusting HR is on your side
Document everything. Build your evidence trail.
10. Saving questions for later
Ask the awkward question in the big meeting.
11. Chasing titles over skills
Prioritize rare, valuable skills over job titles.
12. Becoming too specialized
Learn adjacent skills. Balance depth with breadth.
13. Avoiding difficult conversations
Be direct but kind. Address issues early.
14. Not building your network
One new connection weekly. Follow up monthly.
15. Ignoring industry trends
Read news daily. Learn one new tool monthly.
16. Taking credit instead of giving it
Highlight others’ contributions. Lead with generosity.
17. Not negotiating early offers
Research market rates. Ask for more than feels safe.
18. Staying too long in one role
Change every 2–3 years. Seek new challenges.
19. Not building a personal brand
Share insights weekly. Build thought leadership.
20. Avoiding all risk
Take one calculated risk each quarter.
21. Working without metrics
Define success. Track and share results.
