The Most Valuable Employee

It is not about net dollar worth of an employee.  It is about what that person is able to give to an organization irrespective of his/her salary. 

Staying for 30 min more and contributing for the project is beyond the job manual.  Seth Godin has been saying this since long.  I have mentioned many times about word "Linchpin", which Seth recommends to become. 

The most valuable person in your company is not the one who needs incentive to outperform.  They need no motivation.  They are self-motivated. 

To me a person who is self-motivated is the most fierce competitor.  In terms of companies too, those companies whose culture is very strong and those who look for inspiration from within are most innovative and competitive.

When someone with such a persona is around, you can feel the magic of his presence.  The charm and energy in the surrounding is enigmatic.  Why are such employees most valuable?  Is it because they contribute more than others? 

Are those employees most valuable who are able to bring change to an organization?  Is there any second guess who the most valuable person at Apple ?

So that kind of person whose mission is not bound to just Apple.  His mission is beyond the self and the whole company. 

I can give many individual and companies which have brought significant change to the world not because of money.  I would conclude this topic by saying, "The most valuable person in any company surely doesn't work for money at all".
