Episode Four - The Trap of Being the Best (and completely miss the point)

from Career Coaching With John · host John Fialkowski

We open with a reflection on Yevgeny Prigozhin—the mercenary boss who flew too close to the sun—and what his downfall says about loyalty, usefulness, and power. From there, we dive into something closer to home: the trap of being the best at your job. Especially in customer service, hospitality, and retail, being the go-to person can sometimes mean you never get the chance to grow. You're too valuable where you are.In this episode, we talk about how being excellent isn’t always enough, and how performance without power or direction can leave you stuck.Hosted by John Fialkowski | Career Coaching with JohnThoughtful approaches for lasting change.johnfialkowski.com
