Few of us are lucky enough to recognize very early on what we want to become.
Shellye Archambeau decided as a teenager that she wanted to be a Tech CEO and went on to become the CEO of MetricStream, a recognized global leader in governance, risk, and compliance software solutions. She currently serves as a Fortune 500 board member and holds board seats at Verizon, Roper Technologies, Okta and Lineage.
Her Mantra? DON’T OPTIMIZE THE JOB, OPTIMIZE YOUR CAREER!
Key takeaways from the episode include:
- How to fulfil your ambition? Start with a goal -> identify what has to be true for you to do it (research) -> plan
- Be intentional and run to something. When you are running away from something, like a job, everything looks good
- Learning from MetricStream: Fall in love with the market to anticipate and meet its needs better, rather than being solely product-centric
- What do investors such as Vinod Khosla and Marc Andreessen have in common? They all WANT TO WIN!
