Power Players have an incredible sixth sense for knowing when it’s time to do a Madonna.
They are experts in personal reinvention because they know that keeping an edge helps to keep their Power buzz going.
Power Players know what most of us suspect: that we should evolve ourselves before others find us predictable, repetitive, and worse, dull.
Even when Power Players reach a lofty place, they never lose sight of the fact that they need to evolve. If they start to be seen as too conservative or too easy to read, they flip a switch and work on other areas of their professional strengths or personalities.
They know that if the market determines they are past their use-by date, they are toast – and it’s their job to make sure they never get there.
Learn this from the Power Players: smell the market when it comes to your place in it. If it is time to change your M.O., then do it before you are obsolete.
Take the reins of your ‘brand’ and reinvent yourself if you have to. Power Players do this all the time.
