Several themes run through Dr. Albion’s writings:
- Don’t become good at something you don’t want to do – Many times, we are told that we are good at something, and that’s that, we keep doing it even though we might be passionate by something completely different.
- Don’t live a deferred life plan – When considering career changes, we always find reasons to delay. But after making a change, most professionals wish they had done it sooner.
- Choose a community, not a job - Professionals that are happiest at work often say it is because of their relationships with colleagues and clients. At business schools, We primarily practice analytical skills, not relationship building skills. However, don’t forget the importance of a community of respect and friendship for personal and professional fulfillment and success.
- Plant trees under whose shade you will never sit – Including unreachable goals to our lives add meaning to our life and energy to our work as they connect us with something bigger than ourselves.
- Values-based business leaders need to balance approaches from monks, architects, and diplomats in order to grow and expand businesses that maximize social, environmental and economic value.
