A former CEO shares 5 tips on how to grow as a leader without burning out

When Khosla began coaching Maya , a senior computer scientist at a large multinational company, she aspired to be the chief digital officer of the company, but it wasn't clear to her how she would get there. Based on feedback from her manager and colleagues, she realized that before she could be a strong candidate, she would need to be perceived as more than a technical expert, which would require better business and commercial understanding.
"Look at your calendar over the last six months and divide how you spent your time into a few themes," Khosla says."Then ask yourself: From this list of themes, what is working for me, and what is not? What are the things that really get me excited and engaged?" "As a growth-oriented leader, you need to take an active role in expanding your options," he says."To do this, you strategically assess where you want to go, who can help, and how you can approach them."
