One of the most powerful lessons from my conversation with Jay Urich wasn’t just about football but it was about value.
When he realized he wasn’t going to be the starting quarterback, he didn’t complain. He didn’t quit. He walked into Coach Muschamp’s office and asked, “How else can I add value to this team?”
That’s a question we all need to ask ourselves.
If you’re not getting the position you want, the promotion you want, or the opportunity you want, don’t focus on the title. Focus on the value.
The people who make the biggest impact aren’t always the ones in the spotlight. They’re the ones willing to put the team before themselves and serve wherever they’re needed.
So here’s the question: If you’re not where you want to be, how can you add value where you are?
Your opportunity may be hiding behind your willingness to serve.
