The mark of a good manager is the ability to initiate or control change that leads to something better. 

Successful managers set things in motion toward the achievement of a measurable and worthy goal. Sometimes that goal will be proactive, sometimes reactive. The same applies to how you manage your career. 
  

Regardless of whether you are:
                                   a junior executive,
                                                      a middle manager,
                                                                or front-line supervisor;
                                                                                  regardless of your education;
                                                                                                           regardless of your industry,
                                                                                                                                    this rule holds true.

It’s your responsibility to manage your career on a steady course toward the attainment of your goals.
 

Are you stuck? Sometimes as the saying goes, bad things happen to good people. You could lose your job due to some failing upon your part, or more likely because of something beyond your control such as downsizing, merger, bankruptcy, etc.

Or worse yet, you might lose interest in your position because of a blocked promotion, boredom, poor pay, or stressful working conditions. 

At these times, those with good career management skills react wisely and find either a better position or career track. If you lack these skills, you could face long stretches of unemployment or settling for an unfulfilling career.

Know this, the longer you’re stuck, the more difficult it is to break free.

Sadly, most people in management positions don't know much about changing jobs or careers.

It's not something they teach in college. Sure, there are a multitude of books you can read about it, and learning how to play golf from a book can be done too, but it will never match the help you get from a golf pro who has helped hundreds of others master a very difficult game.

A pro sees you in ways you can't, knows what to look for in your approach, knows how to position you comfortably, how to adjust your technique, how to get the most power out of your effort, how to make sure you’re aiming in the right direction, and how to get the best results with the least amount of effort.
