What if you could never hide? Would you live differently? Many of us work in environments where we are never out of eye shot – well except for the bathroom – we hope…. The “open” concept drives accountability and really forces the individual to maintain a level of value that is acceptable. Perceived value can be a tricky thing and so it is worth saying that not everything we do will be immediately perceived as valuable and sometimes we have to take the hard road of not being recognized for our efforts. Giving without the expectation of receiving is a real art and balance act – especially at work where performance is driven by recognition – for the most part. Some good advice I received recently is to live all aspects of life as if all eyes are on you. It really changes the dynamics of the value you bring. As we drive value through an organization it is important to respect and acknowledge that it is more than just numbers and metrics that really drive value. You don’t really need everyone’s eyes on you to be seen and to drive value.
