Shot 284: SEASONS OF A CAREER

–Below is a leadership bullet from Tom’s rifle named Shot–

     YAY, I’M A VISIONARY.  I still lead, albeit differently than before.  I have entered a new season in my career.  Here’s my deal:  A—I have been around a long time.  B—I have been successful.  C—I have taken others to success.  D—Now, I see things that others, especially younger, less experienced, rifles don’t see, and, thereby, I guide them to take appropriate action.
     There will come a time when leadership for you will not be learning from others, or doing things well, or even taking others to new heights.  You will still be a leader but from a visionary perspective.  That is, you will be a visionary if you continue to develop in your career.  Gene Dalton and Paul Thompson, while teaching at Harvard, recognized four stages for career growth.  Here they are:  Dependent Contributor, Independent Contributor, Coach/Mentor, and Visionary.  You can always lead.  Recognize the season you are in, and go for it.
