Often when someone starts to stagnant in a particular field or business, he starts to consider moving to another field. Harvard Business Review recently had an article discussing this misperception.
In the article entitled "The Grass Isn't Greener", Evan Hirsh and Kastui Rangan state:
Your chance of getting superior returns is far better if you stay in your own industry and improve your performance than if you move into a new one. It's a bit like having faith, when darkness falls, that the sun will return tomorrow. You can pretty much count on it.
There are numerous situations where the initial tendency is to look externally, when the best approach is to look internally. Focus within your organization and make improvements. Focus within yourself and make improvements.
