Every environment is in need of players who bring ADDED VALUE. When an employer hires a person they begin with the expectation that an individual will integrate into the environment, learn how to work well on the team, do their job at or above a ‘B’ average. But, spoken or unspoken, what they are hoping for is a leader. What they are hoping for is someone who will bring additional value to the team & context. What they are searching for are the ‘Intangibles’ that will ultimately make you irreplaceable. Right now, EVERY average employee is replaceable. So we are faced with answering the question, “what make us IRREPLACEABLE?”
The answer = ADDED VALUE.
Benefit beyond your sticker price; that is the true definition of value.
So, what do you do for free? What will set you apart from everyone else? Will it be your optimistic attitude? Your eye for excellence? Your nature to serve the leadership? Your ‘can-do’ approach? Can you come up with new or better or more cost effective solutions? Are you a problem solver? Do you develop and lead others?
