Seeking the chair


 


7. “A wide degree of creativity and latitude is expected.” This one is confusing, but I think it means that you need to avoid immediate dismissal of stupid ideas.

8. “Relies on experience and judgment to plan and accomplish goals.” Failure to reach goals set by others is your fault because of inadequate planning.

Who would apply for that job? The only people who should apply are those who are ready to leave their personal comforts behind for the comfort of others.

For those undaunted by the job description, I am frequently asked how a career should develop to maximize the chances of promotion to leadership positions. Should I get my MBA? What committees should I sit on? Who should I get to know and collaborate with? When is the best time to seek promotion? How should I position myself for advantage?
