The path of career progression is often filled with 'shoulds', placing implicit and explicit pressures to climb the corporate ladder.
Constantly pursuing career advancement can lead to chronic stress and diminish job satisfaction, overlooking the importance of skill consolidation and contributions at each level.
An excessive focus on personal ambitions can impair effective leadership and decision-making, potentially compromising trust within a team or organization.
Embracing sustainable progression involves redefining success to find satisfaction in current roles, expanding influence, and achieving work-life balance.
