Some people just aren’t cut out for it, and that’s perfectly okay! There are plenty of other ways to advance your career without going into management. I speak from personal experience. My first “real job” out of college was as a management trainee at the country’s largest financial institution (at the time).

Gulliver’s Travels is one of those books we assume we know. But what we tend to recall is some stuff about Lilliput, giants, talking horses and possibly something about scientists trying to extract sunbeams from cucumbers. It’s really about one man’s descent into disillusion with the human race.
