Up-or-Out ...

A quote which I heard it today at the workshop entitled by 'Professional Orientation'. It resounded as 'Be Proactive', which I heard it from years ago, during a trainee ship at one of the multinational companies. I had a friendly discussion with the team leader for the group, and he advised me; when you go to the job market, do your best to be proactive person, be up-to-date because they use the Hire-and-Fire code. I believe that, what I have heard today has the same exact meaning. This quote is used by one of the most famous consulting companies, and because they care a lot about their employees, they tell them when they start working by them; please keep Up-or-Out.
In other words we could say, "Move-to-improve". Humans get bored very fast, so this methodology of moving or changing is quite healthy and productive. Sometimes, we got the feeling that we want to do it or we need to but we don't know how. I would say from my small experience, when the learning curve starts to saturate or when the earning curve needs to be pushed up.
We should have a short term planning and a long term planning for our career. Long term planning helps us to identify the next step while the short term planning helps us to manage or draw the steps to achieve our goal by reaching the next step. Did you try the "Mind Map" technique, I definitely recommend it for anyone. If we are talking about more detailed or sophisticated planning, I would use the "Gantt Chart" for that issue.
