(CS4U) Above and Beyond - Getting Out of the Pile

 

Above and Beyond - Getting Out of the Pile   Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring in some of the Israelites from the royal family and the nobility - young men without any physical defect, handsome, showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king's palace. He was to teach them the language and literature of the Babylonians. Daniel 1:3-4   Even though Daniel started out as a slave, he was "well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve;" so he rose to the top spot, right next to the King. And if you want to excel at work, take a leaf out of his book. Jack Welsh, former CEO of General Electric, says: "The only way you are going to stand out, is to grasp this simple principle: when your boss asks you a question, assigns you a project or sends you to gather data, he already knows the answer he's looking for. He just wants you to confirm that what he believes is true. Most people do just that. But here's the difference. You must understand that the question is only the beginning. To elevate yourself, you must sink your thoughts into not only answering the question, but going above and beyond it. That means presenting him with three or four other ideas that he'd probably not considered. Your goal should be to add value to the idea by exceeding expectations. This is true not only with questions, but assignments, initiatives, and everything else ever given to you to do. If you understand that the question is only the beginning, you will get out of the pile fast, because 99% of all employees stay in the pile because they do not think. If you understand this principle, you will be given even more critical questions to answer, and in time, you will be the one giving the questions to others."   Prayer Heavenly Father, help me give my all and then some, to show that as a child of yours I go above and beyond. In Jesus' Name, Amen
