Finding career balance with the explore-exploit framework
- Feeling stuck in a career rut? Here's a framework that can help you decide whether to double down on your strengths or reach for something new. It's from the world of decision science, and it's called the explore exploit model. When you exploit, you're putting existing skills to work, going after wins by doing what you know well. But if your growth feels slow, tasks become predictable, or you end up on autopilot, and that's a sign to start thinking about exploring. When you explore, this is all about stepping outside of your comfort zone to build new skills and unlock doors in the future. It's a balance using what's already in your toolkit while still reaching for something fresh. So ask yourself, where can you lean into what you know and where could you benefit from actually stretching into new areas? It's how you keep growing without feeling stuck.
