Taking the extra step
While at work most people follow SOPs and directive of their superiors while completing a task or a checklist of some sort. They wait for instructions and diligently follow. The better they complete the task the more chances they have to grow and be promoted, right?
⠀
Wrong!! That’s not enough!
⠀
Merely completing what’s assigned to you is not nearly enough if you want to grow.
⠀
Growth (any growth) is a result of creativity and courage. Courage to explore, to take appropriate liberties from the roadmap, to get to the root of the problem and provide a solution. It’s about vision and willingness to do something about what you see.
⠀
If you are merely executing a task that’s assigned to you then I hope you start to look for opportunities to create and provide solutions to issues that are untouched.
⠀
True value comes from solving and creating – not from completing a checklist.
⠀
Don’t wait for a directive to be given to you…. propose it instead!
