The corporate ladder is gone. That linear, vertical path to success, where you’re rewarded one step at a time, assured growth and prosperity if you stay hard working and loyal? Dead. Extinct. Blown up. What exists now? The corporate jungle gym, the gauntlet, the TARDIS. One innovative decision could propel you into the stratosphere, and 20 years of service could get you a pink slip. Your career is a multi dimensional chess game now: see 4 moves ahead. See 4 years ahead. Take risks. There may be more competition but there is also more opportunity; the landscape of every industry is in the throws of change. Be innovators. The powers that be aren’t fortune tellers or wizards. They are scared and they won’t hesitate to sacrifice their minions to stay afloat. But that’s their first mistake. Today you need a spaceship, not a boat.
