Are you a middle manager? Are you positioned at a critical juncture? I talk to so many who feel themselves sandwiched between senior leadership and ground-level operations, forming several “layers” of management. Are you an innovator driving value, or merely a cog in someone else’s wheel?

Value creation is paramount. It’s what distinguishes those who climb the ranks from those who remain stagnant. If you find yourself not creating value, consider this your call to action. It’s time to reflect, re-evaluate, and if need be, move. Go to a smaller company where you can make a real impact.

Developing your capabilities isn't an option but a necessity. Realizing your potential means embracing adaptability and innovation. This is the time to move, to shape your career in a way that aligns with your true potential.
