When the organisation changes around you — all the old faces supplanted by new — your task is to remain relevant. You have to make yourself felt, and really the only way to achieve that is by being kind.

So you’re as proactive today as you would’ve been on your first day a decade ago. You reach out to your new colleagues to offer help and support, discharging your duties to the best of your abilities. No quiet quitting here: on the contrary, you’re indispensable.

Every day is like a job interview, proving your worth to the new incumbents who have the power to make or break. Now is the time to lead, without anyone noticing. Time to unassumingly raise standards. “How can I help you today?”
