It's time we start looking at career success differently.
Perhaps you have heard the idiom,"I'm at the bottom of the food chain." This phrase is often used as reference to a person's lack of power in the workplace or social group. And if you look at power and success in careers, the goal is typically to climb to the top and become a titan of the industry.
But does the top of the food chain hold all the power? Success? Maybe. Maybe not. What if I told you that some of the most powerful people, right now, are at the bottom?
With a nature-based lens focused on careers, the food chain demonstrates the importance of the bottom of the food chain in the work-
place. For so long we've missed it.
To understand the power in not being at the top is to understand that you may not have "big wins" and all your career aspirations may
not become your reality, but that doesn't mean you are inadequate or that your value is diminished. Low-visibility roles and less visible
actions are contributors to success, like anything else. Even the most seemingly minor actions or positions, can contribute to something
greater.
If you are exhausted from the efforts of trying to reach the top and feel like you failed because others around you have succeed in their careers in ways that you only dream of, take a break, and read this book.
I'm not saying it's time to give up on your dreams, but it is time to see yourself for the Power Producer that you are!
