ABSTRACT
YOU WILL BECOME a senior manager much faster if you have a clear career goal. This means that you know where you are going in your career, Successful people have usually aimed for a specific job within a specific time-such as Managing Director by the time they are 40, Others are less definite, but are strongly vertically oriented in their career aspirations, Few reach senior positions by letting life just 'happen' to them, or hoping that someone will rescue them from their drudgery or recognise their 'shining light under a bushel', They achieve because they had an idea of what they would like to do and set out to do it!
