Every professional MUST NOT DO to grow in their career:
· Don’t think you know it all: Learn to self-introspect, and do not be part of the blame game. Do not develop a false world that you are the best.
· Do not get swayed by social pressure while making decisions: do not let your decision be based on social pressure. Do not go with face value, do your research, and use your wisdom. Reject social pressure and let your decisions be your decisions only.
· Professional journey is a long journey: Avoid short-cut routes to reach the leadership role. Do not choose the elevator(short-cut) to reach the topmost role fast, go through each floor(role) to get the experience of each floor(role). To climb the professional career ladder, spend time, be patient and be stable, your professional journey would be more meaningful.
