Some advice for people in their early #careers
There are two types of opportunities in this world
Creating and coordinating
Creating is for those who appreciate originality, those who like to think and apply
Copywriting, coding, drawing, designing, building, developing, solving
Co-ordinating is a different world all-together
It is all about managing resources, selecting #resources, and aligning resources.
Scheduling, conducting meetings, talking, listening, influencing, negotiating, taking notes, enabling, planning, organizing, calendarizing
While creating is celebrated more in books and movies, coordinating takes a backseat
Terms like innovative, out of the box, free and radical are associated with creating
Terms like mundane, boring, soul-sapping work get associated with co-ordinating
Unfortunately, there are more opportunities for coordinating
Because the world works that way
The economy tolerates mediocrity in coordination
The #economy has zero-tolerance for mediocrity in the creation
Mediocre creators are punished by the economy
Mediocre co-ordinators simply survive
Excellent co-ordinators excel much faster than excellent creators
And it is easy to be a mediocre coordinator because there are just too many of them
Decide what you want to become 🙂
