THE BIG NAMES GET A LOT OF ATTENTION

• We talk a lot about how much CEOs make
• We talk a lot about the CEOs creating/executing strategy (good or bad)
• We talk a lot about “rockstars” (see: Workday “rockstars” commercials)

BUT DO THE REST OF US ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING OF ANY VALUE?

• Do the rest of us live the Ricky Bobby life, “if you’re not first, you’re last!”
• Should we feel bad when we advocate for ourselves, since that’s how the merit/raise system works? 
• Should we be embarrassed
