How To Be That Diamond Your Boss Is Looking For!
When it’s all said and done, bosses the world over are looking for someone who is dependable…
Diamonds come in all shapes and sizes. Employees do too. Interesting, isn’t it.?
Those “diamonds” who create the most value at work are the ones that are reliable.
To be a diamond, doesn’t mean being a world beater.
To be a diamond is about slow and steady wins the race.
To be a diamond means managing expectations.
To be a diamond is about landing deadlines.
To be a diamond is owning the work you do.
I could list many more attributes, but you get the gist of what I’m saying. You don’t have to flog yourself to death to be that valued employee. You do need to be yourself and you do need to be reliable. Remember, it’s about solutions or options. Work through the list you have, recognise the roadblocks and frame a solution. Your boss will be forever grateful 😎😎😎
And now for your entertainment, a song from Chris Rea during his rock/pop phase a long time ago – he is one of the great musicians. Track down his works from the last 30 years, you’ll see what I mean.

So true. It is good to be a valuable person in the office and to be nice to colleagues and to be cooperative on projects. Yes, don’t overdo it.

I am glad that someone else believes that ” slow and steady wins the race,” Sean. That’s my strategy. I often feel an affinity with tree roots gradually moving/cracking/breaking the concrete sidewalk above them…
