It is quite easy to become better at what we do. It requires the desire to become better and then the discipline to learn, practice, and reflect.

Choosing where to invest that time is more difficult.

For many, letting go of all the other opportunities to become better at what they do is what is complicated.

Whenever they do, they have an opportunity to become well-known for their competence and to be seen beyond their team.

But in retrospect, what people will most often be respected and appreciated for is when they invested in becoming a better team member.
