More than your bit

Many folks do less than their bit.

When four people are tasked with doing the work of four people, one or two of them will invariably find themselves doing more than the rest.

There are countless reasons for this, and they’re scarcely worth pondering if your interests are in moving the needle, creating work that matters, and changing the culture.

Indeed, if those are your goals, doing more than your bit is the default setting.

It’s been my default setting for as long as I can remember.

Perhaps it has been yours too.

It’s not an injustice. It’s just how the game works.
