Be the Leader of Your Own Career
summary
Practical leadership habits and concrete practices replace platitudes: adopt the AA habit—move abroad or start self‑defense—to build humbleness; choose progress over perfection, ship instead of waiting; do one thing that scares you every day (turn off GPS, speak in public); prepare the night before and use visualization; schedule one hour per week for future plans and plan five steps ahead; use 5 km walks and calisthenics as an escape, ask for feedback, get a mentor, and apply an SPD micro‑goal/patient macro approach.
