•Develop a reputation for delivering results above and beyond.

•It’s OK to think and talk about your career, but secondary to job performance and better when you are hitting the ball out of the park in your current job.


•Become proficient in one business/technical area. •Build a strong functional competence. •Look for opportunities to apply your expertise in a broader business context; multi-functional teams; process initiatives, etc. •Learn Finance . . . it’s the language of business. •Manage your career so that you can evolve (rather than leap) into a cross-functional assignment.
