You’re at the top of your game. Life is good. You’ve made it this far having survived the hard work and long hours. You’ve proven yourself by performing under intense pressure while remaining productive and valuable. Now, you want to call the shots. Why not? You’ve earned it!
You recognize the last 10 years have been great to you but you want to make sure the next 10 years are even better. You’re at the point in your career where it’s time to take on more responsibility and perhaps run your own group. You want to expand your business into new products or industries that your current firm doesn’t cover. Your current team doesn’t seem to be as hungry as you are to be at the top of the league table.
