The Loyalty Trap: How Staying Too Long Can Limit Your Career
Ep #280: The Loyalty Trap: How Staying Too Long Can Limit Your CareerYou love your job… but is loyalty quietly putting your career at risk? You’ve been with your company for 5, 10, maybe even 20 years. You’ve built strong relationships, you’re well respected, and you genuinely love the work you do. So why would you even consider looking elsewhere? Here’s why—because even when everything feels great, long-term loyalty can quietly limit your options and put your career at risk. If you’re not exploring what’s possible outside your organization, you might not know your true market value. You could be missing out on higher salaries, bigger leadership roles, and the chance to future-proof your career in case something unexpected happens. And let’s be honest—organizations aren’t always as loyal to us as we are to them, and when you’ve been in one place for years, suddenly having to find a new job can feel overwhelming. In this episode, I’m not telling you to leave. I’m showing you how to lift your head up, explore your options, and proactively manage your career—so if you stay, you’re doing it from a place of power and choice, not habit or fear.Unlock the missing piece in your leadership development.
