In boom times it is hard to get the attention of your employer... BECAUSE their coffers are flush with fruit... money is easy... they even get picky with which customers they serve... and careless about CUSTOMERS they 'let go'!!!
Fortunately YOUR turn to SHINE will come. It comes when the downturn hits BECAUSE suddenly everything changes. Suddenly you find the very same people that IGNORED you in the flush times... that had no time to hear you better way of doing things... begin to hover around your desk.... EVEN say hello in the elevator... EVEN ask you a question or two... OR ask you to lunch.
WHAT'S CHANGED?
Well suddenly YOU have the kind of answers THEY need... suddenly they are pressured to deliver in "quantifier" and "qualifying" terms like saved money, like dropping ineffective procedures that lead to increase the speed of a process, like reducing the defect counts... so they come to YOU because you did-more-with-less EVEN when times were good... but no one noticed... because times were good. Now its your time.
Now is the time to shine... to kick off your Career Plan that you have been quietly working on... and can NOW act on massively... an leverage your value to the max...
