Leapfrog-in the context of thriving at work-is a scenario when a new
entrant outperforms others. How do they achieve this? Are high
performers born or made? Is there a way to nudge yourself into being
more successful at work and also in life? With its six evidence-based
insights, this book is poised to help you to advance your career at an
incredible pace.
To begin with, the first step is to develop grit along with the ability
to embrace boredom. The second practice, leaning on behavioral
economics, focusses on nudging yourself to make better choices. The
third practice is about being intellectually humble by accepting limits
to what you know. The chapter on dancing with disciplines celebrates the
magic of ideas colliding to create new ones. In a world full of noise
and bullshit, you will need to curate choices to maintain a focus on
what is relevant to you. The last practice helps you think like an
entrepreneur and develop the ability to ask for what you want.
Based on their extensive experience of teaching and mentoring students,
the authors have developed a framework called the Personal Journey Map
(PJM), which will help you imbibe and implement the six practices by
capturing your current repertoire, scanning the landscape ahead, and
curating a path to a career in which you can prosper.
