Being intentional matters.

A Few Crucial Points From Malcolm

When work is truly satisfying it meets 3 key criteria:

1. Work must be Autonomous:  You must be responsible for your own decisions and direction.
2. Work must be Complex:  It must engage your mind and your imagination
3. Work must display an intrinsic Connection between Effort and Reward:  The more you put into the work, the more you get out of the work.

Great, Humble Leadership Always Wins

No matter what, lead with humility. Great leadership opens doors to fresh and invigorating opportunities in every field all while simultaneously satisfying the points stated above.  No matter what position in life you are currently in–whether you have been working for 1 year or for 40–know that there is no greater position to fill than that of humble leader.
