Ken Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel, advocates for lifelong learning as essential for career success, especially for young professionals. He encourages continual reading and engagement with current literature in their respective fields, emphasizing the importance of staying updated and open to career changes. In a recent podcast, he mentioned that even with his extensive experience in finance, he still dedicates time to learning. He specifically recommends "Good to Great" by Jim Collins for insights into effective management and team-building.
You should read books that speak to the domain knowledge of the job you have. It's really important to always, always be immersing yourself in the literature.
We hire endless numbers of really bright undergraduates, some of them have this belief that when you graduate from college, you're done reading textbooks. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If it's not interesting to you, you picked the wrong career. It's that simple.
The goal should always be to have current knowledge in the body of work an individual is working in.
