11 top executives answer the question 'How do I get ahead?'
One of the questions I am often asked is "how to get ahead." I thought it might be helpful to share some lessons from top U.S. executives.
Warren Buffett, chairman and CEO, Berkshire Hathaway:
"You follow your passions. You find something you love. The truth is, so few people really jump on their jobs, you really will stand out more than you think. You will get noticed if you really go for it."
Jeffrey Katzenberg, co-founder of DreamWorks: "I don't think it matters how small or how big the task is, if you can do it just a little bit better than what is expected, you will be noticed and rewarded."
John Gainor, CEO and president, International Dairy Queen: "I think it's very important that you don't want work to be work. It has to be something that you can enjoy. And if you find that, you can build a great career and enjoy what you're doing. Read More
Meg Whitman, president and CEO, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise: "Be clear what matters most. And what matters most is your family. There are tradeoffs that you will make, but remember, at the end of the day that is probably the most important group of people in your lives, and that has been true for me from day one. Do something that you love. Read More
Ginni Rometty, chairman, president and CEO, IBM: "Never protect the past. If you never protect the past, I think ... you will be willing to never love [it] so much [that] you won't let it go, either. Read More
Adam Goldstein, president and COO Royal Caribbean Cruises: "Try to stay in one place. ...That's not really very realistic in today's day and age, but there are so many advantages if you can have a long and fulfilling career at one place. Read More
Kirk Kinsell, president and CEO, Loews Hotels & Resorts: "Don't take yourself seriously because no one else will. That points back to my leadership style. I oftentimes tell people my favorite subject is me... Read More
Mary Barra, CEO, General Motors: "Do something you are passionate about; do something you love. If you are doing something you are passionate about, you are just naturally going to succeed, and a lot of other things will happen that you don't need to worry about."
Eric Schmidt, executive chairman, Alphabet (formally Google): "Find a way to say yes to things... a new country, to meet new friends, to learn something new. Yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids."
