Heads down / Heads up

Typically when you first start working “work hard and keep your head down” advice is doled out.  Many years into my career I started to ask what’s so good about keeping your head down?

In keeping your head down you can easily miss what is going on around you. And people can easily miss seeing what you are doing.

Try picking your head up and see what is happening. What is out on the horizon? What is not working? Where can you be more valuable?

Go ahead and make the transition from heads down to heads up!  Let me know what you see with your working heads up.
