It’s common knowledge that the person who knows the most about how to
improve the productivity of any job is the person who holds that job.
Why is it, then, that we are often reluctant to offer suggestions for
improvement? Perhaps we’ve seen too many layoffs and reorganizations to
trust the cracker barrel wisdom that our goal should be to work
ourselves out of a job so that we can move on to a bigger and better
position.
Nevertheless, the old wisdom is still sound. If you find a way to do
things better, faster, or cheaper, you increase your value to your
employer. You will be asked to participate in planning sessions and
quality circles because you’ve demonstrated that you know how to make
things work more efficiently. It’s inevitable that you will be promoted,
because you will become one of those exceptional employees who are too
valuable to lose.
