Karriere: „Es ist in Ordnung, kein Karriereziel zu haben“

Die Londoner Neurowissenschaftlerin Anne-Laure Le Cunff forscht über den Weg zu Erfolg und mehr Produktivität. Statt sich große Ziele zu setzen, rät sie zu einer anderen Strategie.

Karriere: „Es ist in Ordnung, kein Karriereziel zu haben“

Neurowissenschaftlerin and author of a book on success, you ponder whether there exists a scientific recipe for success. If such a formula existed, it would be universally known, copied, and applied. It would eliminate the need for a book like yours. Therefore, there is no magical formula. However, we understand from neuroscience how to learn best, which can increase chances of success.

So, how does this work? Through experimentation. The way the brain learns is based on something scientists call the "perception-action cycle": first, the brain perceives information from the environment. Based on this information, it forms a prediction. This prediction can be right, which is great because learning can be gained from the result - or it can be wrong, but this is also great.

The brain learns from the result, regardless of the outcome. You grow, even when the path forward often seems unclear.
