Granted that most people reach success by getting into one place and staying there, a certain ability to leapfrog from one career to another is not always a disadvantage.  Any ambitious person should be courageous enough to switch to a new game if the one he or she is playing is no longer productive and satisfying.

Sticking with the company should be a voluntary decision on your part, because you think it's best for you; fear and inertia should not keep you from trying something new.  Despite the fact that he was a scholarship from a poor family, Donaldson made Skull and Bones at Yale, then graduated to take Wall Street by storm, make a fortune and marry a debutante.  He left Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc, which he had started with a borrowed $20,000 to work for Henry Kissinger at the State Department as Under Secretary of State and later for Governor Carey of New York.  At fouty-four, he accepted Yale's offer to head the newly created Graduate School of Management and Organization.

What is striking about Donaldson's career is the way in which he methodically fulfilled his goals, one after the other.  First he made his fortune; then he went into government service; finally, with the maximum of prestige, he took on a new career as an educator.  It is a perfect example of success planning.
