In other words, "be exceptional."
A fine platitude, but not useful advice that you can reasonably expect everyone to follow.
You can only be exceptional if there is a large group of ordinary people to stand out from.
Being exceptional is nice, but living in a society that nurtures everyone's talents and gives everyone a useful way to contribute is better.
- kev009 12y agoYeah but that society is rare right now. Again, the only person you _know_ is looking out for you is you. Remarkably, really caring about outcomes does make you exceptional in a mid to large size business. Most people's vision begins and ends with not rocking the boat and group think of the way things are and always have been. The more willing you are to do the right thing per outcomes regardless of self-assessment of "keeping a job", the less likely you will worry about finding employment there or somewhere better down the line. Good managers can taste this zeal and will seek you out.
