Career stress can be from choosing to be a sycophant instead of an unservile leader

Most people want to advance in their careers.  Most large companies have multiple career paths.  Early in your career, you can move back and forth between different paths.  But at some point, you’ve advanced far enough that going to another path would essentially be going back in time.
At smaller companies, the career path is based on the growth of the company and growth in your skills. There isn’t any definite career path, because you and the company are growing together.  You try to align your goals with the growth of the company and maybe sometimes you can steer the direction of the company to align with your goals.

This winds up elegantly at personal excellence.
