Which battles do you fight?

I’ve just been speaking to Graeme Maher, currently CEO of Vodaphone Qatar and previously CEO of Vodaphone in New Zealand, Australia, Sweden and the Czech Republic.

I asked him what advice he might offer up to middle managers, struggling to find more Great Work in their jobs.

His answer was a bold one, and not the usual “try harder, work more, being bolder.” It was this:

==> Decide if you’re going to stay or go

As you’ll hear when we post the interview, Graeme’s got a gift for keeping things connected to the big picture. And this is the big picture question for anyone working in a company: Is this a Yes or is it a No.

If it’s a No … life’s too short and too important to be staying there.
