As we grow, advance and ascend to positions of greater responsibilities, it is essential to remain grounded and stay true to yourself. No matter what happens and where you end up in your career make sure you remain who you are as a person, as a human being.
While I do understand that certain positions may require adjustments to protocols and procedures, they shouldn’t change your character and your personality. If you are helpful, cordial and approachable to people now, you should remain that way even when you become a CEO. As a matter of fact, the more influence you have the more you need to be aware of how your actions and words impact people and their lives. Audit your reach and influence and use it wisely and thoughtfully.
