If Don Draper got your promotion…
He’d run for the hills.
Your big job is no Madmen fantasy, is it?
You’re a top dog, but there are no impromptu afternoons off,
No long extravagant lunches,
Or comfy office sofas for afternoon naps.
Instead, it’s open plan,
or a cupboard pretending to be a private office.
You’re on planes so often that you forget what home looks like.
Lunch is too often at 3 PM, loaded with sugar.
You barely make it to the loo twice a day.
That's messed up!
You’re the boss, so why are you hustling like a 20-year-old intern?
More responsibilities should mean
more freedom.
More flexibility.
Not to be a run-down version of a boss.
Losing hair, gaining weight, being low in energy, and self-sacrificing.
Blaming the region, your industry, impossible deadlines
and insane KPIs,
is just avoiding dealing.
Fact is you create your reality,
You could be happy in this role,
Give it a shot. Take action.
Be creative.
Break the pattern.
