Never Outshine the Master

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am curious to know what you think of this article, which is advice about never

outshining your boss. This is part of the " How to Become Powerful " series. The

link is at the end of this message.

Of course, everyone would agree we should all become our best selves. But are

there times when we should hide our light under a barrel, so to speak, or appear

to be lesser than what we are, in order to gain more power in the world? I know

this idea may seem ridiculous. The article does a good job of explaining why we

should not go full tilt sometimes in displaying all our assets to the world.

Do you agree with this " never outshine your boss " advice? If so, how do we

" never outshine the boss " yet at the same time be our very best selves (slim,

fit, healthy, positive, beautiful, smart, talented, etc.)? Is it hard to be/do

both?

Thanks,
