Learn Your Boss’ Job

 

 

Your boss has a tough job, as do you. And, your job is not only doing your job, but to learn your boss’ job. Now, why is this? Well, for one thing, the more you can take off the shoulders of the person you report to, the more they can take the job of the person that they report to, and you can see how this continues to work. But here’s also the good reason for you as an individual.

Once you know how to do everything that your supervisor knows how to do, that makes you infinitely promotable. And, as soon as you’re in that job, guess what? You’ll learn the job of the person that you report to. And, you can see where this goes, yes?

Be a person of great generosity. And, as opposed to complaining about more things to do, look for more things to do and more value to add. And, I promise you, life gives to the givers and it’s a hoot.

If you do your boss’ job, and then after you get that job, you do that boss’ job, you can see where this is going. Here’s the thing, life gives to the givers. The more you give, the more you receive. So…be of generous spirit.
