A short career-advice video by David Jenyns advising listeners to (1) identify what they want to accomplish and prioritize both passion and skill, (2) surround themselves with talented people across peers, managers, and reports, and (3) commit to continuous learning and self-improvement.
Asking yourself a pretty straightforward question that sometimes is a little more challenging to answer, which is ultimately, what is it that you want to accomplish? And if you don't know the answer to that question, try optimizing for two things. One is passion and the other is skill. And it's not one at the exclusion of the other because that'll lead to some pretty suboptimal outcomes. So that's one, know what it is that you want to accomplish. As simple as it sounds, it's really important. Two is surround yourself with great people. I used to think this was all about finding the right boss or the right mentor. But it's not just about the person above you. It's about the people you work with, your peers and the people that work for you. It's all about talent in this day and age. And so you have to surround yourself with the best, only the best. And then third is to always be learning and to take great passion if you can, in improving yourself and to challenge yourself.
