Success Quote/Mantra:
We should interpret our responsibilities broadly and work the job we want, not necessarily the job we have. That way, when it is time for a promotion, the promotion is not a set of new responsibilities, but is rather a ratification of the responsibilities that we’ve already long assumed. -paraphrased from Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs
