In seeking to advance beyond an impending permanent burnout spinning wheels at lower levels, how does one best acquire a top position, say, Director, or apply their skills in a way that’s fulfilling again? Pivot is such a different kind of advancement, its not climbing or moving laterally in a game of chutes and ladders; its more redefining what it means to work with the guts and passion. With a company lead whose mind is out of the game and ready to retire and move on, how do I get his job?

How would a top position not lead to more burnout?

What do you enjoy doing?

Writing. Hearing peoples stories. Having people, one by one, prove to me that my story is worth giving a moment to understand theirs. Yet I never understand enough.
