What are the factors that dramatically and consistently impact career success? Why do some people ascend and prosper while others of equally talent, never reach their expectations? From our research we discovered five discrete patterns that time and time again show up in the careers of the most successful executives:
1. Understand the Value of You. People with extraordinary careers understand how value is created in the workplace and translate that knowledge into action, building their personal value over each phase of their careers.
2. Practice Benevolent Leadership. People with extraordinary careers do not claw their way to the top. They are carried there.
3. Overcome the Permission Paradox. People with extraordinary careers overcome one of the great Catch-22s of business: You can't get the job without the experience, and you can't get the experience without the job.
4. Differentiate Using the 20/80 Principle of Performance. People with extraordinary careers do their defined jobs exceptionally well but don't stop there. They storm past pre-determined objectives to create breakthrough ideas and deliver unexpected impact.
5. Find the Right Fit. People with extraordinary careers make decisions with the long term in mind. They willfully migrate toward positions that fit their natural strengths and passions, and where they can work with people they like and respect.
