Day Day Up with Mr Jonathan
Your Career KPI changed, that's why you're stuck
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re a high-performing Chinese professional, at some point in your career you’re going to feel frustrated with your lack of growth.
You realize the same strengths that helped you grow in your career don’t just stop working…
They start working against you.
And that’s not because you’re not hard working enough or not smart enough.
It’s because your career KPI changed, and nobody told you.
The most common phases where the KPI changes are as follows: Junior IC, Senior IC, People Manager, and Director (and beyond). We'll cover each of them in this episode.
