It seems the difference is just the degree of usefulness / value. Rather than being different terms, I think they're just different spots on the spectrum. What's the difference between someone being "useful" vs "valuable", one is 6/10 the other is 8+/10 (made up numbers).
A sales person that consistently hits quota is useful. A rainmaker that keeps bringing in million dollar deals is valuable.
- IggleSniggle 1y agoAn Ops contributor who saves the company millions in operating costs, however, might be extremely valuable, but may or may not be valued.
- rowanG077 1y agoDefinitely, it's up to the contributor to also demonstrate their value if it's overlooked for whatever reason. Demonstration of value is almost never the same thing as value.
- drdec 1y agoI think you have missed the subtle difference between "valuable" (which you introduced) and "valued" (which is the subject of the article)
