This work catalogs the birth and growth of my career to this current point. Everything I share in these pages Ive learned from past managers, mentors, co-workers, and a host of employees over the past two-plus decades. Thank you for being a part of my life and for allowing me the great privilege of being a part of your teams.
Dad and Mom, you were the first mentors I ever knew. Thanks for planting my mind in good ground and showing me what it means to work hard for a living.
Also, to both the personal and professional mentors who allowed me access to their livesthanks for your blatant honesty. You helped me see the true me, even when I couldnt or didnt want to. I am better because of the times you said yes, the times you said no, and, more important, the times you said, Youre not ready yet.
Thanks to my Word Weaver family and to those business owners and professionals who helped me harvest my thoughts into words that make sense.
Most important, to the perfect mirror by which Ive seen both who I am and the good I can become. Thank you, Jesus.
People in a hurry cannot think, cannot grow, nor can they decay. They are preserved in a state of perpetual puerility.
Eric Hoffer
I never expected an employee to teach me something that would change my formula for lasting career success. But he did.
I stood outside my glass office surveying the floor. As I scanned the dark blue Berber carpet, the glow of polished black wingtips sauntering toward me grabbed my attention. On Jacob Worthys perfectly chiseled chin hung a confident smile.
He erupted before he even reached me. I need to talk to you about something very important.
I raised an eyebrow and held my breath as he continued. Boss, I think I am ready to do something else. Something bigger. Ive mastered this job, and theres not a lot more for me to learn. How can I get promoted?
Jacob had joined the firm about eighteen months earlier. In that time he had become my best-performing employee. If an important client needed concierge-level service, Jacob was typically at the top of my list of whom to call for help. His future looked bright, and he knew it. He had a keen instinct. While others on the team grappled with concepts that I coached, Jacob swallowed them whole.
Could this guy perform and produce? Absolutely. Was he ready for the next level, something that would give him charge over others? Not yet. Jacob still needed to learn critical people skills that were essential to building a cohesive and productive team. Within the next twelve to eighteen months, I had no doubt that he would be a top managerial candidate.
Clearly he had rehearsed this conversation a thousand times. His timing was impeccable. Jacob was ending his best month ever, and he had a gluttons supply of confidence.
I smiled at his request. You dont get promoted, I said. You outgrow the space that youre in. When that happens, a bigger space will be made for you.
