Griggs: Yes to Extra Effort, No to Career Complacency
PwC U.S. CEO Paul Griggs advises young workers to be proactive and take initiative in their careers, even if it means putting in extra effort on weekends.
Griggs emphasizes that 'what you put into it is what you get out of it,' which means being willing to go above and beyond and stay curious about your work.
He notes that professionals who take the initiative to research things they don't understand, even in their downtime, will have an advantage over peers who simply log out and don't keep learning.
Kempczinski, the CEO of McDonald's, agrees with Griggs' advice, saying 'nobody cares about your career as much as you do.' He advises young workers to make things happen for themselves by keeping an open mind and being willing to take on new challenges.
