Smarter Side Gigs

Ken Banta, founder of the Vanguard Network, and Orlan Boston,
partner at Ernst & Young, argue that every aspiring leader
needs to have a side gig -- not to pursue a crazy dream or earn
some extra cash but to enhance their skills, knowledge, and network
in a way that benefits their existing careers. The key is to find
meaningful and strategic roles that help you bring new insights and
experience to your day job, and you can even let your boss in on
your plans. Banta and Boston are the authors of the HBR article
"The Strategic Side Gig."
