‘Staying on point’ – while acting on your carefully crafted Leadership Career Growth Strategy – sometimes requires that you take a step back.
The step back could be voluntary:
- deciding to take a sabbatical;
- volunteering;
- fulfilling a public service or military service commitment;
- accepting a less complex (smaller) role;
- pursuing an Executive MBA (or the advanced degree best suited for your particular discipline) or
- taking the time to conduct a thorough review of your leadership career growth strategy.
The step back could also be involuntary:
- illness;
- responding to family needs;
- lay-off or
- termination.
It really doesn’t matter the reason.
