House of Cards: Microwave Success

In today's world, with numerous technological advances, many things move quickly. Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps write marketing pitches in minutes. Computers enable AI to analyze data rapidly and identify trends. And microwaves continue to provide hot food on demand. I don't know about you, but this speed aggravates my propensity towards impatience, which often shows up in the workplace for many people.

If you are in a hiring role, you have likely seen it. Chris is hired and expects to receive all the senior staff's responsibilities and salary even though I still need the work portfolio and the tenure. This is a microwave mentality towards success instead of a crockpot mentality. Crockpot meals are savory and provide sustenance. Microwave meals are a quick way to satiate hunger. Long-term career success is better built using a crockpot approach.
