It amazes me that business people still care so much about titles.
Listening, working and interacting with colleagues, peers, and senior leaders in a variety of situations it is apparent (at least to me) that the only thing that counts especially now is your thinking!
As one CEO recently told his CCO, "I'm not always sure what you do but I like how you think."
Titles provide a method to gauge responsibility and role but hanging onto a title to establish importance and value or believing that a longer, convoluted title validates authority is no longer relevant or realistic.
Impress people with your thinking, knowledge, insight and perspective.
Doing so will find you won't need too many business cards touting your title...rather, you'll acquire a different level of respect!
What do you think?
