Career growth isn't always a dramatic leap; it doesn't demand a new job, a bold decision, or a complete overhaul. The most meaningful progress starts right now, at this very moment, exactly where you are.

November is the moment when all the big projects start to come together and the finish line for the year is in sight. There can be work still to do and work already done. We’re all climbing our own mountains, each at a different pace, each with a different view. So let’s celebrate progress, yours and other’s, even when it feels unfinished.

We’re challenging the Great Man Theory. Data shows that great leadership isn’t something you’re simply born with; it can be learned, cultivated, and strengthened over time. In fact, transformational leadership, a style defined by vision, empathy, collaboration, and empowerment, is widely considered the most effective leadership model across industries.

Stepping into a leadership role is an exciting yet challenging ride. Many new managers quickly realize that  effective leadership goes beyond daily tasks—it requires strategic thinking, team development, and  continuous learning. Cindy Conti, HR Regional Consultant at go2HR, shares the insights and tools she  wished she had when her career in the Tourism & Hospitality industry kicked off, including valuable training  and mentorship opportunities to help new leaders thrive. 

Great leaders aren’t born, they’re shaped by experience, feedback, and the people around them. Think about the leaders who changed your life. Chances are, they believed in you before you believed in yourself. They trusted you, challenged you, and helped you grow. Now it’s your turn.
