I’m often asked by managers and others what it takes to be successful in business and how to move to the next level.
They will often imply that they do a good job, but feel frustrated by the lack of forward progress.
Doing a good job doesn’t ensure you of anything except you get to keep doing a good job…until someone else comes along who can do it better and then you may be looking for another job that you can do a good job at.
It takes more than doing a good job to get you noticed and to the next level.
