As you notice opportunities for improvements, both strategic and operational, take the lead, innovate first and get those advancements in place. Don’t worry about getting the credit or recognition and don’t do it with that motivation in mind.
Focus on improving lives of others, such as your clients, your team, your partners and after all, yourself. Recognition for achievements will eventually come, but what will become more evident sooner is the satisfaction on faces of others whose lives you have improved and made easier.
