9yThe higher the growth rate of a company the more important it is that employees think on their feet, adapt quickly to changing priorities, and do whatever it takes, regardless of title or "what they signed up for", to get things done.
Even if that means a sales manager has to take out the trash or the CEO needs to handle QA testing or HR or help with customer service during a production criss. (You get the idea.)
Any issue an employee is asked to tackle is an issue that an employee should be willing to tackle, even if it's "beneath" his or her current title. (Great employees notice issues and jump in without being asked.)
Being bitter and acting like "It's not my job" or "I didn't sign up for this" sends a clear message of "I care only about me." That type of attitude crushes the overall performance of a team because it quickly turns what might have been a strong team into a lower performing group.
Yes when we have deadlines we need to meet to better serve our customers, sometimes the team pushes itself. (I won't apologize for that), I can't recall the last time though that someone from the BD team ever had to stay past 6:45pm...
It's hard to find people who are smart, a good cultural fit, capable, dedicated and we don't always get it right but when we do, those people become apart of the family.
