Don't fall into this common leadership trap

Try this approach instead
Setting career goals is common, even straightforward:
✅ I want a pay rise.
✅ I want a promotion.
✅ I want a new job.
These goals are important—they bring clarity and a plan. Many of us climb the career ladder step by step, working toward the next level.
But what happens when you get there?
◾️ Pay rise? Check.
◾️ Promotion? Check.
◾️ New job? Check.
Yet the buzz is short-lived. You feel restless and start eyeing the next goal.
💡 Here’s a new perspective:
Have you ever seen a career plateau? A leader achieves their goals but doesn’t progress any further. Why? Because they haven’t defined the impact they want to have.
It’s not just about achieving goals—it’s about aligning them with a purpose. The impact you create as a leader is the game-changer. It’s the difference between climbing the ladder for its own sake and making meaningful, fulfilling contributions that elevate both you and those around you.
When you combine clear goals with a powerful sense of impact, you unlock your full potential and a more rewarding career path.
