Find out what the boss wants, and do that, just barely!
Figure out how to do exactly what they want, with the least amount of effort, and with the least amount of risk of failure and you are a 'great employee.'
This attitude is a matter of self-preservation.
Raise the bar, the thinking goes, and the boss will work you harder and harder. Take initiative and you might fail, leading to a potential reprimand or even termination. Your team is probably full of people smarter than you, why hold them back?
The opportunity of this age is for the boss to change from taskmaster or limiter. When you are seen as a coach, as a resource, as a supporter, as a cheerleader then you will be amazed at the outcomes.
Have you got the courage to change?
