Do you constantly feel out of place despite being a leader at work? You’re smart and ambitious, but everything you do just doesn’t feel right? Well, you may be a duck in eagle school or visa versa.
In Leadership Gold, John C. Maxwell, illustrates one of the most important factors of becoming a successful leader and that is “Don’t send your ducks to eagle school.” After all, a duck will never soar like an eagle, just like an eagle will never swim like a duck.
When pursuing a life-time of leadership like John C. Maxwell, you need to make sure you’re doing the right things in the right profession and if you’re not, you need to stop doing the right things in the wrong profession.
It seems simple right? Unfortunately, there are countless people sticking out a job that does not resonate with their strengths or values. It’s demoralizing and hinders success. So, remember, you’re only on Earth for approximately 75 years and you might as well give it your best shot to achieve your fullest potential.
So, what are you going to do about it?
