Skills and grit are the true currency...
On The Path this week is Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team Principal and CEO, Toto Wolff.
Toto Wolff is living proof that a straightforward career path isn't the only way to the top. You might also have to swerve from time to time - and shift gears - in your career to stay ahead, like Toto.
Toto reminded me that skills and grit are the true currency. You don’t necessarily need a university degree to be successful. And you don’t need a high-profile company’s name on your resume either. Through his own experiences as a race car driver, a college dropout-turned banking intern, and later as a venture capitalist, Toto has become one of the most successful F1 executives by staying adaptable while trusting his instincts.
The Path is a video series where LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky chats with some of the most influential leaders in the world exploring the successes, missteps, and key pivotal moments that shaped their professional paths. It’s through these authentic stories that we can learn how to navigate our own career journeys.
