Jason Rosselot is a VP of Cybersecurity at Dell Technologies. But traditional paths aren't his thing. From serving as a Special Agent for the Dalai Lama to ensuring resiliency in manufacturing and software, he is driven by a very personal mission.

Feeling "caged" at work? Here's your key to freedom.

TAKEAWAYS

The most profound value creation isn't at the most predictable locations within organizations. Instead, the biggest opportunities exist in No Man's Land (the "seams") — the handoff points and areas where no one seems to "own" the task. 

While traditional career paths offer useful jumpstarts and open doors, don't lock in prematurely. Instead, listen to what your inner voice tells you and follow that guidance. 

Leadership is about bravely engaging in big problems; it's not just about taking on a prominent position.

Your potential is what YOU deem it to be; it's not dictated by your experience or what others perceive of you.

One of the most important things we can all do is unlock from our version of the Matrix: see more clearly what we're called to do and take aligned action with that calling.
