So the subordinate (i.e., the potentially high potential) makes certain to contribute in a significant way to those two or three outcomes.”“Bosses have a couple of stylistic imperatives which they may not articulate to you.”“So in the first 30 to 90 days, your new boss has already assessed you - 'are you meeting my style?'"Books By Jay CongerThe High Potential’s Advantage: Get Noticed, Impress Your Bosses, and Become a Top Leader by Jay A.
