The stresses, challenges, and opportunities of making that early-to-mid-career move.
By Derek Lambert
Executive Director of Philanthropy, Rush University Medical Center
Member, AFP Chicago Peer Mentoring Committee
The following is excerpted from a longer version available here.
Having a solid career path provides people with the motivation they need to not only perform their work at an elevated level, but also to excel beyond their job responsibilities. Looking back at my own career, every promotion I received happened because I was exceeding my current job description and already performing many of the tasks required for the new role. If my manager did not lay out that plan, I plotted the path myself. As development professionals, we commit to the growth of the organization we serve, and it is completely reasonable to expect the organization to foster our professional growth in turn. If your professional needs no longer align with your organization’s plans, it might be necessary to move on.
Are you prepared for the next step in your career?
Your current manager or a trusted mentor can help you explore pathways to achieve your next role. They can help you to assess the skills you have developed and your achievements in your current role. Most importantly, together you can determine if you have taken your current role as far as it can go. If so, it might be time for you to either move up or move on.
