#323: Struggling with career direction? Try setting some principles.
Episode 323
Sunday, 19 April, 2026
In this episode, Ben talks about career direction and why many leaders struggle to define a clear long‑term vision. Rather than trying to picture a very specific future role, he suggests creating a set of guiding principles that help you evaluate opportunities as they arise. Ben explains that principles can be built around three main factors: the type of work you want to do, the lifestyle you want to live, and the level of seniority or responsibility you want to pursue. These principles act as a framework for decision‑making, helping leaders assess whether new opportunities align with their desired direction. Having these principles can prevent leaders from saying yes to every opportunity and help them avoid drifting through their careers without a sense of direction.
