How Focusing on Leadership Early Can Set the Stage for Career Success

​

In an age where leadership development often comes too late, a new book has emerged that challenges the norms and sets a new paradigm. Before You Step into the Office by Robert Yeo, is a manifesto for early career leadership inspired by his two university-aged children stepping onto the career ladder.

 

If you’re also making your first forays into the world of work:

 

• Are you investing in yourself and creating an edge?

• What’s your oxygen?

• What do you want people to think of when they hear your name?

• Are you putting more energy into the room than you’re taking out?

• What level of initiative do you feel comfortable operating at?

​

It objectively examines the modern professional landscape that new entrants like you are facing, while offering a toolkit for navigating and thriving within it. It inspires you, as an initial-stage career professional, to redefine your approach to leadership early in your career.
