“I always wanted to be somebody. Perhaps I should have been more specific.”

- Lily Tomlin

At work, it is very much in your job-security and job-advancement interests to be known for some particularly valuable aspect of “human capital.” It might be a deeper knowledge of internal operations, a closer relation with the most important customers, or even the keenest insights into the probable future directions in your industry. At work, be known for something special, or chances are you won’t be known for long.
