About This Quote

In the workplace, there are a lot of factors that make us look good. And, while we may try to present ourselves as the best version of ourselves to our boss, what actually makes us the best is something a lot of people overlook. The truth is that we are often the best for a job because we have a number of personality traits that make it easy for us to adapt to the job and become productive.

And, as an extension of that point, it’s not enough if we can’t adapt quickly to new work environments.
