In my book, The Inspirational Leader, Inspire Your Team To Believe In The Impossible, I highlighted a story from Chelene Pedro about a CEO who was very nasty and disrespectful to one of his managers. The guy shouted so loudly, everyone down the corridor knew that he didn't like the size of the font. The manager walked out of the CEO’s office and returned with a handwritten resignation letter dated "effective immediately."

Great is the enemy of good and good is the enemy of great'

You can't teach a fish to climb a tree! These words of Albert Einstein are brilliant and to the point. A fish will never become good at climbing a tree but a fish can become great at swimming and escaping from predators.

At our workplace we see something similar happen. The ones who are great at climbing a tree learn to be good swimmers and the ones who are great swimmers learn to be good at climbing a tree! Greatness spoiled into mediocrity!

Clients sometimes ask me if age is going to be a factor in their search. My clients’ average age is 55 and I always respond with the same logic: “If you feel old and think age is a problem, then it is.”

Most clients assume being older works against him or her, the reality is that having a little bit of gray hair can very much play to one’s advantage for their job search.

While a private equity is a popular career option and path, the traditional corporate world is also changing: it is a “gig” workforce
