[QUOTE="StLPro2A, post: 4241389, member: 48052"] The new guys may be envisioning a new direction. You may fall off....be wiped off..... despite how tight you hang on. We all are CEOs of YOURSELF, Inc. Manage yourself like the company you are. Even the best of customer/supplier relationships run out....for good reason or for no reason. Perform your input offerings to your customer/employer as the best resource they have.....you should always strive to be obviously a high contributor, critical to their mission.. Attitude, aka fit, always trumps aptitude. Friction makes one easy to jettison. If you haven't differentiated yourself from the masses, you are merely one of the masses, dime a dozen resource. Putting all one's eggs in one basket maximizes that risk. Most do that and when the risk becomes real, they crash, blame the employer instead of them self for mis-managing your own business entity. Most all do not manage themselves, put all eggs in one basket, contribute to your own business like the common low performing employee, are asleep at the helm of themselves. This could be the best thing that ever happens to you. IF you manage your own business. Whether you are an individual contributor or a leader/manager, write a business plan, evaluate your goods/services offerings, constantly work a plan to continually improve those offerings against your competitor's offerings, know your customer base needs/wants, "advertise" yourself by developing contact strategies (it's as much who you know as what you know...small talk makes big business...one great reason why successful business owners play golf......), perform the financials as a CPA, do risk analysis scenarios, plot your course, and steer a steady ship. Too often we dig and stay in our life rut , afraid or too complacent/lazy to climb out, until someone fills in the ends making it a grave. YOU ARE YOUR OWN CEO. GET IN THE GAME, PLAY LIKE IT.
