Quit Your Job to Lead

Anthony Soltero -

If you're an ambitious and high-performing employee, you should become a leader.

Lead even if (especially if) you're not in a leadership position. It's the easiest way to differentiate yourself from your peers. It raises your ceiling and increases future job prospects.

So don't focus your time on the basic job responsibilities, quit your job and lead.

Actually, don't quit. Just change your focus.

Stop focusing on:

  • AI
  • SQL
  • Statistics
  • Data visualization

Start focusing on:

  • Scaling your knowledge
  • Supporting the projects of your peers
  • Influencing others to adopt your ideas
  • Improving your written communication
  • Building a deep relationship with your boss

Build these leadership skills and you will not only excel in your current role, but set yourself up to be successful when you get promoted to a leadership position.

So don't wait until you get the promotion to lead.

Start leading now.

You'll be glad you did.
