What exactly makes someone good at building a respected, successful career over the long haul? We’re talking careers that span 20, 30, 40-years long. In this episode Stephen discusses four patterns and traits of successful long-term career builders:

1) They’re not afraid to embrace the role of sidekick.
2) They seek sustained balance over short-term extremes.
3) They pursue simplicity in systems and processes.
4) They temper all of their endeavors with optimistic realism.
