Summary:
"How
do
you create
your
own definition of success—and reach
your
unique
potential
? Building a fulfilling life and career can be a daunting challenge. It takes courage and hard work. Too often, we charge down a path leading to “success” as defined by those around us—and ultimately, are left feeling dissatisfied. Each of us is
unique
and brings distinctive skills and qualities to any situation. So why is it that most of us fail to spend sufficient time learning to understand ourselves and creating our own definition of success? The truth is, it can seem so natural and so much easier to just
do
what
everyone else is doing—for now—leaving it for later to develop our best selves and figure out our own
unique
path. Is there a
road
map
that will enable you to defy conventional wisdom, resist peer pressure, and carve out a path that fits
your
unique
skills and passions? Harvard Business School’s Robert Steven Kaplan, leadership expert and author of the highly successful book
What
to Ask the Person in the Mirror, regularly advises executives and students on how to tackle these questions. In this indispensable new book, Kaplan shares a specific and actionable approach to defining
your
own success and
reaching
your
potential
. Drawing on his years of experience, Kaplan proposes an integrated plan for identifying and achieving
your
goals. He outlines specific steps and exercises to help you understand yourself more deeply, take control of
your
career, and build
your
capabilities in a way that fits
your
passions and aspirations. Are you doing
what
you’re
really
meant
to
do
? If you’re ready to face this question, this book can help you change
your
life."--From publisher.
