"If there's one thing in business that's certain, it's uncertainty."
-- Stephen Covey
"It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man."
-- Richard P. Feynman
"There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing."
-- Robert Burns

Some employees are looking for upside and challenges more than certainty. In uncertain times, the most valuable employees are the ones who thrive on uncertainty. The most difficult are those who prioritise something an employer can't guarantee as a prerequisite for performance.
