The Best Career Advice I’ve Ever Gotten

I was early in my corporate journey when I got the some of the best advice of my career.

A senior leader I was working with turned to me and said: "Heather, you have to know the rules of the game, but you don't have to play by them."

Which leads me to ask you....what rules of the game have you been handed that you don't have to play by?

What have you been told, directly or indirectly, about what makes you successful at work that you don't want to follow? Or maybe isn't even remotely true?
