THE SANTA CLAUSE.

In many ways, Scott is just doing his best in a situation he didn’t have much of a say in. But then he’s also slow to embrace his career change, and occasionally naive to the realities of the job…

01

DON’T KILL YOUR PREDECESSORS (DO LEARN FROM THEM)

02

DO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS

03

DO BE OPEN TO A NEW CAREER

#01 DON’T KILL YOUR PREDECESSORS (DO LEARN FROM THEM)

If you can, try not to kill them. You’ll get far more wisdom and learnings from them if you can keep them alive – especially if they’ve been doing the job for years and you are quite new.

#02 DO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS

Even though it turns out for the best, Scott does find himself in a contractual bind under the stipulations of the ‘The Santa Clause’ (which he hadn’t fully checked out prior to putting on the suit).

#03 DO BE OPEN TO A NEW CAREER

When you have a special skill set, you should embrace it. Scott is a reluctant career changer and so it takes him a while to see where his professional future lies. When he does and goes for it, it works out.
