Personal success

How we typically think about success:

– number of reports
– salary
– title

Better ways to gauge it:

– positive culture influence
– market influence
– revenue impact

Some of the best leaders I know have no direct reports and unassuming titles.

And yet, they are sought after by execs as a sounding board for the direction of the company.

Don’t settle for vanity metrics to determine your value to the business.

Play the long game, make a material impact, and build influence in a market you enjoy.

Over time you will have everything you want and more. The world is hungry for more leaders.

How else should we be measuring our success?
