If you want to spend years in high growth environments, and reap the benefits that that growth entails, it’s essential to make sure that you are learning at least as quickly as your role is growing if you want to keep your job. You can get a coach, find mentors, take classes, read, listen to podcasts, or pursue any number of other different ways to learn – the right learning strategy is the one that you’ll actually follow through on. The path that I’ve invested in the most was reading, particularly reading as much as I could about business and scaling high growth tech companies.
Interesting article, one of my team shared this with me and asked me if I agreed with the section on having a young child reducing burnout/the chance of burnout for me. I can buy that, I'm not 100% convinced it's *all* down to mission doubt in the way of "needing to feed them". So I thought I'd note a couple of observations on a complicated topic, I'm not sure how you'd categorise them:
1. If you want to be present for your child you HAVE to step away from the computer/phone whatever to engage with them. This is a different type of busy and exhausting but it is essentially a "break" for work and so you are ready to engage at work - honestly I've been excited to go into work as respite at times, I love my baby though, honest :D!
2. Work stress, as a contributor to burnout can be reduced. When you have a child the experience of birth, caring for them and loving them makes your perspective and priorities change, so whilst things at work/your business are important, to me, my baby is more important - so if they are ok then I can get through other challenging situations and dynamics.
