Part 3 Part

The document discusses how success is achieved in the first and second halves of one's career. It states that while many succeed in the first half, few succeed in the second half, which is truly where success is created. It emphasizes focusing on foundation building in the first half through career choices that favor depth over width and learning from the few major learning cycles. Mentors who know you well and are not your direct leaders can help catalyze success, as bosses may in the first half. Changing companies can reinforce experience building and address lack of fit.

matters, which is the second half. Most people win in the
first half, very few in the second.
