Goals. They fill a professional career with motivation, growth, direction, fulfillment…and success. Lawyers are notoriously goal-oriented creatures. Often with laser focus on achievement and the status that goes with it. But when the career biggies are achieved (General Counsel, Law firm partner, VP, Chief of This, Head of That, Boss Lady, Boss Man), many lawyers put their feet up on their desks, kick back and enjoy the view. Ceasing any meaningful effort on a continued career strategy.

So in today’s Darwinian legal market, even the most accomplished lawyers are getting caught flat-footed and finding themselves in migraine inducing career predicaments. Why? Because in this new and rapidly changing world, only the evolved survive. And evolution is a constant process of change. It doesn’t stop with a title or company size or big book of business. It never stops. Or rather, it never should stop. So regardless of your rank, a career strategy will always be a critical part of continuing success.
