Chasing a title for status or proof of accomplishment is a facade.
 Chasing what you can do and represent while occupying a title means so much more.
 
Titles are so subjective to industry, level of business, KPI’s (Key performance initiatives) and the list goes on. You are not defined by your title you are defined by what you do and how you ‘be’ within it. As William Arruda Senior Contributor for Forbes.com states, “Focus on your talents not your title”

The Great Resignation has occurred over the last year with employees leaving their jobs for a variety of reasons such as the below top five concerns according to PEWResearchCenter. org in March 2022

-        Low pay

-        No opportunity for advancement

-        Felt disrespected at work

-        Childcare issues

-        Lack of good benefits

But there is another component to why people are dissatisfied in their job, and this goes beyond the perks and what’s listed above. The pandemic allowed us to take a pause and reflect on what really matters to us and its lead to realising for some, that what they are doing just isn’t satisfying enough.

This has to do with what they are doing in the company and within their role. It has to do with a lack of meaning or alignment in values and with how they work naturally. Their purpose, their flow and what uniquely drives them to succeed. 

Here are some proven ways to help in deciding if the next level or new role is right for you:

-        Understand your values. How do they align in the new role or company?

-        What drives you? What are the key tasks that flow naturally for you and energize you as opposed to drags you down?

-        What is your personal mission, your calling, your purpose? How does this new role empower you to express this?

-        What is the ability for you to create what works best for you in this role while delivering what’s expected?

-        Assess what the development opportunity is within this role to help you get to where -        you want to go within this position

So before you jump at the chance to take a job for the title or just the title, consider the true reason: WHY” you are taking it and how it will affect your happiness, wellbeing and success in the long run.

You don’t become a legend in your industry because of the title you held. You become a legend because of what you’ve done, the things you have left as a legacy for others to carry on, be inspired by and continue to create.
