This CFA Institute podcast entitled "Personal Brand and Skills Assessment" defines personal brand and delves into the relevance of brand to personal and professional success in organizations.
The key takeaway is this: whether you manage it or not, you have a personal brand. Others make assumptions about you based on their experiences with you and with your work/impact. Greater awareness of this can lead to greater career success.

The Role Model
We all need someone to look up to.
A role model helps direct aspirations, measure the self against a greater standard, creates an environment of learning through differential analysis.

Followership
"I can't wait until I'm the boss and don't have to answer to anyone."
We've all heard something similar, either in business, in the community, children, or perhaps in our own voices. It's a consistent refrain echoing across all ages, from the very young to the very old: one day I'll be in charge. For all of us, that day never comes - no matter our upward trajectory in an organization.
