|
Hi Reader How are you this week? If you're keeping your head down and hope all your good work will get you noticed, it's time to start thinking about ways to get you noticed. The main thing you can do is to start thinking like a partner. If you’re thinking like a partner (which you should be), you should know that it is your responsibility to develop yourself. If you think it’s your firm’s responsibility to develop you, then you’re wrong. How can they know what you really want and need? If you want to know how to get put on the partner track, you need to start by not relying on your firm for your own development. If you do this, you’re putting yourself at risk by giving the firm control of whether you progress or not. To be sure that you are put on the partner track, start investing in yourself. Get in the driving seat and move your career forward yourself. Create a career plan and USE it to guide your personal development and to keep you on your professional path.
