Three Steps to Becoming the Master of Your (Office) Domain – By Robert Greene
Mastery is the ultimate form of power. When a person has mastered a field, he or she has attained such a grasp of the field’s complexities that opportunities and trends which are invisible to others are readily apparent to the master.
The power that mastery brings does not come from possessing a higher IQ, having greater natural talent, or being lucky enough to have wealthy parents who can afford the best schools. Instead, this power is the result of years of practice, experience, and experimentation.
A person who becomes a master follows a course that includes choosing the career path that best meshes with his interests, completing a fast-track and intense apprenticeship in the field, working with the right mentors, and learning how to handle the political aspects of collaborating with others. My book “Mastery” is based on my years of research on the greatest masters in history as well as interviews with nine contemporary masters. In it I describe in detail the process that leads to this power of mastery and how anyone can pursue it, regardless of background or what the field may be. The following are three key steps along the way, illustrated by examples taken from the lives of various masters.
