Loyalty has its rewards

“Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.”

—James F. Byrnes

Just because you show up for work every day does not mean that you are getting anything done or that you are particularly good at what you do. And, yet, many organizations still believe that the busier a person is, the more they are accomplishing, and the more they know about their jobs.

But wait a minute.

What if the employee is busy because they really don’t have a clue about how to complete their work efficiently? Never mind. They apparently still get promoted because they’ve been with the company a long time.

Loyalty has its rewards.

But companies that mistake rewarding their loyal servant with a promotion are stifling growth not only for the company but also for the employee.
