What Is Important In a Career

I was being interviewed recently and I figured I would share some of my thoughts here.

Stephen Covey said adults are essentially big kids and I agree. While I also agree that we can act our way into a new way of thinking, I also believe that essentially our default emotional response is a reflection of our personality established very early on. Don't get me wrong, I have personally validated that we can drive personal growth at any stage in life, embracing the concept of our power to choose our response to any stimulus.

I was asked what industry I wanted to work in, given a choice. My response was industry is not important because skills are easy to acquire so long as a person is sharp and committed. What is truly important is how one relates to others, how one works with others and how one leads in group dynamics.
