How to Make Strategic Career Decisions, Even in a Crisis (Back to Work, Better)

When it comes to work, it's easy to focus on the near term: the
next meeting, project, promotion. The global pandemic pushed many
of us even further into heads-down mode. But Dorie Clark, author of
the book The Long Game: How to Be a Long-Term Thinker in a
Short-term World, wants everyone to step back, take a breath, and
start thinking longer term about what you really want to do and how
to progress toward those goals. She offers advice on how to ignore
social media distractions, balance priorities, cultivate patience,
and make the right strategic decisions. Clark also wrote the HBR
article "Feeling Stuck or Stymied."
