Take control of your future with these four elements: (1) create a strategic identity; (2) design for trust; (3) master the pivot from startup to scale-up; (4) treat your legacy as an asset.

I’ve written a lot about bad career advice in the past. It’s funny how, once you start thinking it about it, you notice it everywhere. It’s like when you’re looking to buy a new car and then suddenly it seems like everyone in the world drives the exact make and model you want. Bad career advice jumps out at me like a bright yellow Porsche in a sea of black Hondas.
