Career Building: A Focused Process
Career planning and goal setting are important activities in building our careers. However, our planning and goal setting should not be so rigid that we cannot adjust them.
We live in a constantly changing world. Therefore, we need to be focused on our career goals, and at the same time be flexible enough in our thinking to adjust, and take advantage of the opportunities that arise.
Being career focused is like being a pilot or yachtsman. We know our destination and the direction in which we are heading.
We are also prepared to constantly make navigational adjustments to stay on track. Sometimes we may have to make detours because of stormy weather ahead.
When we undergo career change we also undergo adjustments and detours in order to achieve our career goals.
In flying, the pilot knows that he or she has limited resources (fuel). Therefore the pilot sets time-lines in which to reach the destination.
As career achievers we also need time-lines in which to reach our career goals.
