Maintaining constant career growth requires more than just sheer will. If you want to do this the right way, you must come up with effective strategies aligned with your strengths – and even weaknesses. Sitting down with J.R. Lowry is Keith Willis, founder of Core Management Training. Together, they discuss how middle management professionals can take on bigger roles by learning the right way to influence others (even if they are not in the place of authority) and build relationships that truly matter in their chosen field. Keith also explains how to use setbacks as keys to unlocking profound growth moments instead of simply getting stuck.
