“To an extent that we ourselves are only beginning to appreciate, most people at work, even in high-performing organizations, divert considerable energy every day to a second job that no one has hired them to do: preserving their reputations, putting their best selves forward, and hiding their inadequacies from others and themselves. We believe this is the single biggest cause of wasted resources in nearly every company today." Robert Kegan
‘A wasted resource’; career before safety, except that poor safety can ruin a career.
It's the judgement that's lacking, if the leadership cannot adequately judge the objectives of the second job, what does it say about the day job?
