The best way would be to start one’s own business, which would make one their own boss. But starting a new business and making it profitable is a long journey, which is often not easy to manage, in today’s competitive and unpredictable environment. Another way would be to obtain an MBA degree from a premier institute and join a startup at a senior leadership role. However, it is strongly advisable for one to get some good work experience managing a company’s core business functions including managing teams to be able to sustain a senior leadership role. The best way to do this is to work as a product manager and then work one’s way up the corporate ladder.
