I Know You

Filed under: Leadership

You may not think you are famous, but you are.

Liz was always happy. It was her personal legend. She was known for it, and because of that people wanted to work with her, be around her, have her as a friend and colleague.

Michelle cced her buddies on any email to her manager. That was her personal legend. She was known for it, and because of that people didn’t trust her. They saw her mistrust of management and knew that regardless of her talent, she wasn’t someone they wanted to attach to.

Richard asked for feedback and responded with gratitude when he received it – every time. That was his legend. He was known for it, and because of that people loved working for him and trusted that they could tell him anything.

You may not realize it, but you are well known, even famous. So what are you famous for?
