Do you have a sense of purpose?
If you can’t find a sense of purpose for your life, don’t look for it in your work. You won’t find it. Oh, and don’t blame your work.
What is your mission?

Did you find it?
Stop looking for meaning in your work.
Start adding value to your work and start playing your role well. The meaning will appear when you get it right.
Did you find the right way?

Are you a leader?
There was a time when I delved so deeply into what makes a manager and what makes a leader.
I don’t anymore.
That’s not to say there is no merit in knowing some of the purported differences. Know what you need to know then move on and be what you need to be.
If you believe leadership is a skill, then it can be learned. The trenches will teach you more. If you believe it is a trait, either you rejoice because you have it or you give up and blame your genes.
Know this though; you can’t do it alone in the working world. And this too, you have to be an integral member of your team; meaning contribute and make a difference.
When you know those, will it still matter if you are known as a good leader or a good manager? People will just be happy to work with you and around you.
Will it make a huge difference?

Can you take the pressure?
There is a quote that is often associated with the Navy Seals: “Under pressure, you don’t rise to the occasion, you sink to the level of your training. That’s why we train so hard.”
The pressure
will always be there. The challenge therefore, is whether you have trained for
it.

Who are you arguing with?
“I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.” -George Bernard Shaw
What’s the point in convincing?

Are you the armchair expert?
Stop saying “if you managed this brand, you would have done this and that” or “if you managed this brand, you wouldn’t have done this and that” as if you are the expert.
Of course I realize you have the right to your opinion and that you may be even recognized as an expert. Just be conscious of the fact that there is a high chance, your opinion when implemented probably won’t work for the brand.
Come on, you are dishing out your opinion based on a 400 word article.
How accurate can you be?

How do you gain an edge?
One of the many ways is to get a consultant you can work with. It doesn’t have to be Roar Point. We aren’t right for everyone. The right branding partner can be your competitive advantage.
How do you choose?
