What’s the biggest mistake you can make in your career? 

Who is the most important person when it comes to the success of your career?

The person who’s most responsible for your career success is… not you. It’s actually your boss.

If you’re an entrepreneur, your clients are the boss — even though it’s possible for you to fire the worst ones. However, in a traditional organization, the people above you are the ones who decide who climbs the ladder… and who gets left behind.

The biggest career mistake many people make is failing to recognize the ultimate decision-makers. If you acknowledge that the people above you have the biggest influence on your career, then you’re on your way to getting ahead at work.
