Send us a text ;)The episode explains the difference between being useful and being valuable in corporate roles, including promoter-driven Indian organizations and family-owned businesses. Useful employees focus on tasks like attending meetings, replying to emails, meeting targets, and handling compliance, but their roles are more likely to be cut during restructuring, cost-cutting, or automation. Valuable employees understand where profit comes from, what bleeds the company, can communicate strategy simply (such as improving net profit), and help leaders reduce mental load by answering tough questions about growth, cost reduction, and new products. It also emphasizes perception and leadership: valuable managers support juniors, navigate peer politics without becoming political, and offer informed suggestions to seniors, which leads to stronger appraisal visibility and selection for senior roles and higher income growth.Subscribe for practical insights on growth, work, and the future of careers.Products I use #affiliate :Logitech Brio 4k web cam: https://amzn.to/4672AweBOYA by-PM Series mic: https://amzn.to/4tFzSwgDIGITEK® (DTR 260 GT) Gorilla Tripod/Mini: https://amzn.to/4kENML1Microphone Windscreen Sponge: https://amzn.to/4rZ5Ou9DIGITEK® LED Battery: https://amzn.to/4aTqMViDIGITEK® (DLS-006FT) Light Stand: https://amzn.to/4am5e3HPlease note: I may receive a small commission if you buy the product through this link. Any purchase is appreciated :)Support our podcast :) :https://www.buzzsprout.com/2538925/supportPodcast: Better Than yesterday by Sunil GeraAvailable on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Amazon Music, Podcast Index, Buzzsprout and more...Socials:Instagram: @betterthanyesterday.podcastFacebook: Better Than YesterdayHi, I’m Sunil Mohan Gera.I’m passionate about exploring ideas that help people live better — whether it’s through financial freedom, personal growth, health, or lifestyle choices.
