stanliwise:You are very smart. There's value in what the Op posted also, but he missed a good point about looking out for one's interest as much as one may seek to add value. Any value added to your company without commensurate benefit to you in terms of personal development and financial compensation is ultimately a loss to the employee concerned. No one is ever remembered for service to an employer but the value one adds to oneself remains for life. 4 Likes 1 Share |

stanliwise: Now it's your turn to talk through your teeth. We employer association have a saying... everybody steal but Nigerians steal too much. Share will not stop them from robbing you blind. Percentage of profits is what I give or commissions 1 Like |

for those saying adding value to a company is a waste of time, but you cant add value to your own business if you ah ve not learnt the art of adding value to other business. May not be in an official setting, but if you have not had any stint in adding value to an organisation, it may be hard doing it for yourself. Also, don't always make an example of the worst case, most of the CEOs of top 20 companies in Nigeria started as employees in the firms, and are even still employees and they are doing way better than most ppl their age struggling to put a business together. It is still about adding value. If Dangote did not start a company by chose to work as a business manager in another company, giving his diligence, he would be a world class CEO by now, may be not as rich, but still a billionaire. So, it boils down to being Valuable. Let me end on this note. you guys starting our business, you also need to have the eyes to pick talents, valuable ones..if you are not it yourself, you will end up getting ppl that will suck you dry. 1 Like 1 Share |

SundayNightGist: Oga, Nigerian employers do not give a hoot how much value you bring to their businesses. During my years as an employee, I took my CEO to North America to close two great exclusive business deals, for Africa within 3 months of joining the company as Head of Engineering & Procurement, for a stake in his business....what did he do upon our closure of those deals? He could not even fulfill his promise of a salary raise. According to him then, he had tried to get a US visa for decades, my idea made this possible for him...but how did he repay me. Abeg, leave all the corporate value addition talk. If you have the capacity to add value, add it to yourself...start your own business, no matter how small. 1 Like |

mediclife1987:Ok let me ask you a question. When you want to get to a place. Let’s say you wanna travel to Abuja now. Which flight would you take? You would take the flight to Abuja. No matter how amazing or how beautiful a flight going to Anambra may look, how cheap it is or how more comfortable it may look. You will still not go with it. Because you have nothing to do with Anambra. So in journey of life you must only engage with company and activities that would ride you through this journey. Don’t say because of how nice or amazing or passionate you feel about something that wouldn’t take your any forward to where you’re heading, you should engage with such. This is true for career and any field of life I hope I explain better 1 Like |
