Professionals learn to swap leadership roles early in their careers.
Hah! Maybe you didn’t know that professionalism and leadership go together like hand and glove.
If you are a professional, that is akin to being a leader. Else, you’re just a worker.
The flip side is that if you just want to be a worker, without leadership responsibilities, you may find that AI replaces you more quickly than you might guess.
So treat your career like a profession. Take a leadership role. Relish the responsibility.
Any leader will tell you that it can be fun at times, but it can also be a pain in the butt.
So you learn to swap responsibilities back and forth between other leaders.
Learn this as quickly as you can. Never take a leadership role unless there’s a matching leader or leaders to swap responsiblities back and forth with.
