This blog post is part 4 of 5 and looks at the opportunity cost for you of NOT having a career strategy and plan.
“Control your destiny or someone else will.” Jack Welsh.
Opportunity cost of not having a career vision and plan
What are the implications of NOT creating a vision and plan for your career?
- You dislike your job
- You feel frustrated
- You get left behind with your peers succeeding
- You leave yourself vulnerable in the world of work
- You don’t feel resilient
- You experience frustration and anger from being unfulfilled which has a negative impact on your relationships and health
- You feel anxious and disempowered
- Your talent is unliberated – what a waste!
- Your career options and choices are restricted
- You are on the back foot (reactive), rather than the front foot (proactive)
- You don’t realise the potential you are capable of
- You provide a poor role model for your children that you can have meaningful and fulfilling work that plays to your strengths, not just ‘a job’
