McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski lately shared some blunt profession advice and warned viewers it may “hurt your feelings.”
In a video posted to his Instagram account earlier this week titled “Tough Love with the McDonald’s CEO,” Kempczinski inspired people to take full possession of their skilled journeys rather than ready for others to open doorways for them.
“The advice I would give is: remember, nobody cares about your career as much as you do,” Kempczinski said. “So this idea that there’s somebody out there who’s looking out for you, who’s going to make sure that you get that opportunity, who puts you in the right thing — great if it happens — but at the end of the day, nobody cares more about your career than you do.”
He added, “So you’ve got to own it. You’ve got to make things happen for yourself.”
Kempczinski, who formally took over as CEO in November 2019, has an lively social media presence.
His Instagram account, which has practically 50,000 followers, most lately featured videos on topics including profession development, tackling imposter syndrome and style assessments of the fast-food chain’s merchandise.
Earlier this 12 months, Kempczinski gave followers a glimpse into his personal style in a video posted to his LinkedIn web page, revealing which menu merchandise tops his record at the fast food giant.
