Comments on: At work are you more like a chorus line dancer or a soloist? http://growyourkeytalent.com/2010/01/work-chorus-line-dancer-soloist/ Rebecca Morgan’s Insights & Information For Developing Your Star Staff Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:20:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Richard http://growyourkeytalent.com/2010/01/work-chorus-line-dancer-soloist/comment-page-1/#comment-411 Richard Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:17:25 +0000 http://growyourkeytalent.com/?p=607#comment-411 I’m definitely a soloist. I can start out as the chorus member as I learn how they do things. But I’m not there to be another cog on the wheel. If they wanted that, they could have hired someone at ½ my pay. Eventually, I start having ideas on how they can do things cheaper, better, or faster. 90% of those ideas may get dismissed (been there, done that, other factors to consider, etc.). Just give me the 10% to run with, and I’m a happy guy. “know which one you are best at and don’t accept assignments where you won’t be a good fit.” – Seems like part of the engagement they needed a chorus member (presentation), and part a soloist (refining their program to be more effective). With three other internal trainers presenting, too bad you couldn’t just leave that part to them. I’m definitely a soloist. I can start out as the chorus member as I learn how they do things.
