Industries are constantly evolving. Tools of the trade, tactics and distribution methodologies are sometimes here today and gone tomorrow. And as you become more of an expert in your field, it's easy to lean on your tried-and-true methods to get shit done. The question becomes, "How do I stay relevant as my career and industry evolve?"
When you hit that mid-career mark, it can feel as though you've seen it all. You've gained a solid grasp on who you are: your leadership style, your values, your purpose. You've learned how your team gets into a groove, and what it takes for you all to produce your best work. You wonder: Why should we change, and mess with a good thing? To stay relevant, that's why.
