Being a good employee

We all work for someone.

Yes, even your CEO answers to a board / investors.

Investors answer to their LPs…

who answer to their constituents.

Everyone answers to someone.

No matter who we are accountable to, here are a few things we can do to be better employees:

– Anticipate problems and have a plan
– Do things without being asked
– Help lead the team you’re on
– Ask good questions
– Help teammates
– Do a little extra

These are the behaviors of people who get promoted.

Exercise them in addition to your day job and good things will happen over time.

What else would you add? How can we do our part to make ourselves easier to lead?
