RECIPE FOR SUCCESS AS A LEADER AND MANAGER

A career in the traffic and transportation area can extend 50 years. During that tenure, success is not a title or how many people one manages. Success is unique to each individual. To be successful, a manager must be aware of his or her own limitations and strive to improve in areas of deficiency. A good leader defines his or her desires, likes, and dislikes. Individuals should seek a level that fits with their likes and their abilities. To be successful, one has to develop skills to excel at the level chosen. Success should be constantly measured throughout one's career. It requires self-evaluation and being one's own critic. Everyone can be successful. Success is not a level obtained, but it is the ability to work in an area of interest at a level within one's limitations and abilities, to the fullest potential for that individual.
