In a significant organisation … each person is a vital component, adding human insight, care, and commitment to the work at hand. In this environment, there is no room for someone who is simply compliant.*
Seth Godin
You can carve out a very good career simply by being the most reliable person on the team. You would not think that always showing up on time, hitting every deadline, and responding quickly and professionally to all communication would be such a differentiator, but these traits are always in short supply.**
James Clear
We should take both our finite
and infinite games^ seriously,
And playfully:
To respect the game we’re in with our full attention, but
also to look for ways of bringing something from the best of ourselves,
Something that will be different to the best of others.
