Working harder will not turn you into an effective executive.
\nBut most people keep trying, and then wonder why they’re not making progress. <\/p>\n

You earned success by outworking everyone, saying yes to everything asked of you, and solving every problem yourself. But that strategy also meant that people kept giving you more work. <\/p>\n

If you stay on that path, you will get stuck, feeling like you’ve hit a career plateau despite working until you’re exhausted on a daily basis. <\/p>\n
