66 I am now and close to my final farewell. Alas, according to the criteria of my own model, such facts are absolutely insufficient to elevate myself to senior, or exceptionally accomplished, or 'captain', 'explorer' or 'free agent,' names that actually describe much better what seniority actually is.<\/span><\/p>

Indeed, in those teachings, bombing yourself as a 'senior' is completely out of the question. Je are as good as others think you are<\/em>. Seniority is a completely subjective concept, a merit valued as such by others.<\/p>

Employees who attain the qualification senior, as mentioned, want to keep learning, keep discovering. A senior is not afraid of adventure. In short, a senior does not abort his learning curve, but continues it. This phenomenon is also known as beating the curve <\/em>mentioned. What does that mean?<\/p>

A mountaineer who conquers a five-kilometre peak is performing a tremendous feat. His surroundings will also acknowledge this. But after the third time, the novelty wears off. The same achievement that was first recognised as great is now barely noticed. The perceived contribution<\/em>, as it is so nicely called, is actually moving in a downward direction.<\/p>

But suppose the mountaineer shifts his ambitions and sets his sights on a seven-kilometre summit. Then this is not only a quantitative leap, but also a qualitative one: this project involves totally new things! Teams have to be assembled, base camps set up, different equipment is needed, in short, the scale of the organisation comes to a whole new level, as do the financial implications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Employees' learning journey follows a similar pattern. 'Mastering your trade' and 'getting really good at your trade' are stages that most will have passed through before the age of 32. By then, the peak of many a career has been reached. That is, if no new impetus is given. The appreciation of the individual's contribution will decline. The growth curve passes its peak and after about a decade, during which the level remains stationary, turns into a downward curve.<\/p>\n

Senior staff know how to outrun that downward trend. Want to know how? I'm writing a book about it. Because I too am looking for it. The holy grail. I want to know how to get there.<\/p>\n
