How to build and sustain career momentum in the workplace

Kenya: Majority of people do not set career goals. If they do, they do not draw a clear line or map on how to get to their desired goal. Individuals who wish to grow their careers must define the direction they want their jobs to take.

They must be keen to recognise momentum breakers and concentrate on building and sustaining momentum. A lot of employees start the New Year upbeat about their job prospects. They hold on to high hopes that the boss will effect that overdue pay hike , that their colleagues will be more cooperative, that their families will be more supportive and so on.
