It is usually that people to make themselves stuck into a position and is not easy for them to change.  However, one day we have to learn to become a leader rather than follower.

Becky Johnson, right, was asked by her boss, Lisa Gable, left, to take on a leadership role at their Washington, D.C., foundation.

This article is about Ms. Johnson who was a former Commerce Department staffer, but after her boss Lisa Gable promoted her three times, now she is a senior director.  How did she do it?  At the beginning, she had essentially pigeonholed herself; she thought her job was to make her boss look as good as possible.  After she did the changes, like bought new clothes, learned body languages, she is feeling more confidence than before.

I learned a lesson from Ms. Johnson’s story.  When you doing your job, always think out of the box and believe you can do it.  Need to put ideas forward without any hesitancy.  It is important to be positive in your workplace.
