best career advice. ever.

“Never accept responsibility without authority.”

I thought that to move to the “next level,” I had to take on more responsibility. I didn’t pay so much attention to who actually had the authority to make decisions about these responsibilities. Power (or whatever you want to call it) comes from more authority, not more responsibility.

So now I work in a room by myself which makes the whole thing a lot easier. (Most of the time.)
