Deep dives
The Dangers of the Zone of Excellence
Experiencing success in a high-revenue role often leads individuals to overlook their personal satisfaction and energy levels. It's common to fall into a 'zone of excellence,' where one excels in tasks yet finds them draining, as was the case for Sachin who managed a substantial portfolio at LinkedIn. This realization led to the importance of identifying a 'zone of genius'—activities that invigorate and motivate rather than deplete one's energy. Recognizing the disparity between these zones can prompt professionals to reassess their career paths and seek work that aligns more closely with their passions.
