This week has been a slow but good one. Travel to client
site was a very insightful conversation, I was asked where I saw myself in next
3 year? Maybe outside the organization I answered. I am trying to
eliminate dependencies from my job. The fellow traveler was a bit
surprised by my answer I guess, he might have wanted to hear me say that
I wanted the next level in the corporate ladder but it is really not my
desire. Reading Robin Sharma a couple years back got me thinking that its
about what and who you are on the inside and not on the outside. I feel
like I'm already a leader, I don't think I need to prove it to anyone. I
am not looking for personal glory in any specific company, I am looking out for
my family and these are my goals and my motivators.
My friend asked why I didn't
see myself in the organization and rather outside. I simply stated that I
don’t mind, but I know that I am just a resource and don't want to be at
somebody's mercy so I am taking control of my life and future.
In the meantime, this week was a good lesson to reflect on whether
I am good or great. Yeah, I may see myself a bit good, but I want to get to
great. How do I score as a leader my self?
I started creating a leader dashboard based on the items that we
have learned from the book summary. Good to great.
