But that doesn’t mean you’ve done anything right.

Doing ‘something’ tends to get you noticed. But once you’re noticed, you’re evaluated, judged and either kept track of or dismissed. Some folks will read this blog, many will stop after they distill the direction of my focus.

Most Chairmen/CEO’s I’ve met will take the time to assess you, if they notice you. Sometimes, they’ll go through the process, and decide it’s not worth keeping track of you again. Then you just fall into the woodwork as far as they’re concerned. Other times, you will pique their interest.

Get them to notice you for what you've done right, not wrong.
