Just because you are good with people, does not mean you are necessarily a good manager. Take a 6 month "independent study" time off from your career. It''s good to feel a little out of your depth; that means you are learning something. Ask people to talk to you. Talk to anyone who''ll do so. Say thank-you. Don''t be afraid of men.

Because that was how I was managed and led from the start of my career, because that was really all I personally and gratefully knew, that was how I managed and led others; how could I know otherwise? In my career, I’ve helped clients ignite soul sparks and surpass goals we thought were long shots. Leo Tolstoy.

There's tons of questions we can ask ourselves to assess our lives, careers, goals, etc. Learn how to code, make bookshelves, do graphic design, become a product manager for 3D-printed products, understand the Patagonian ecosystem, discover biomedical uses of Antarctic sea anemones, para-sail? Think about the next 2-3 years, maybe 5.

I’m privileged to have met a few of these people in my career – in fact, five “someones” recently at a warm, welcoming, generous visit to Enterasys’s headquarters in Andover, MA. Vala and Brad share the culture’s benefits to their top line, bottom line and most importantly, human line.

History, philosophy, sociology, or any liberal arts degree will not prevent me from pursuing a career in business. Even though they don’t directly align with my career aspirations, they will not take me out of the game. The situations I study in history are different, but as seen above, the skills used are the same.

Instead, we need to shift the paradigm to one where people live to work.

Do you view them as “career-long learners” who want and need continuing education on matters directly and indirectly relevant to their responsibilities, now and in the future? So… In your organization, do you provide, educate, train, and teach your people the knowledge they need to really do their job?
