Growing up and listening to career advices I always heard "go the extra mile!" I'm listening to Cathie Black "Basic Black: The Essential Guide for Getting Ahead at Work (and in Life)" And she has a real funny story about going the extra mile (& 1/2) and how to be creative.
I always like to go the extra mile. Whenever I can think of doing so, I'll do it. I wish I could give an example but I can't think of any right now.
Cathie Black became president and publisher of USA Today when everyone had written it off and look where USA today is. I was also fascinated to learn that she persuaded Oprah to launch the O magazine. It seems so simple and a no brainer but not until Cathie had suggested it did anyone think of it.
I highly recommend the book where she demonstrates how any woman can seize opportunity in the work place.
