I remember like it was yesterday.  March 2004, two months before graduating, I landed my first job out of college with Enterprise Rent-A-Car.  Like many of my peers I was happy to be employed, but the overachiever inside was plotting on how to fast track through the company’s corporate structure and become the woman in charge.

Unless you’re in a small minority of people who come out of school with a business ready made, chances are you’ve worked for someone other than yourself.  According to data on statiscbrain.com, of the 318 million people in America, only 400,400 are CEO’s – so it’s highly likely that you’ll always work for someone.  However, you shouldn’t let that fact limit your leadership capacity.
