The Hare and the Tortoise

Before I left Accenture I spoke to Royce. Whilst I reflected on what he said to me quite extensively, I only got round to writing it down electronically today. The key things he said were be clear on where you want to go, understand what your personal brand is, and be clear on what you need to do to get to the next level. On writing it down, what I realised is that none of these things can be completed / achieved / done overnight. Whilst it is great to crack on, do 100 things at once, and get them all done quickly, there are certain other things in life which just take time e.g. getting to the next level, establishing a personal brand or reputation, or just working your way through your career more generally. Maybe the Tortoise really is as wily as the Fox, but what is certain is that neither of them is as rich as Royce - what a fortune he and all the other old school partners made out of Accenture's IPO all those years ago!
