I have been thinking about the role of a professional and how it has changed from the past and how it will continue to change in the future. This was something that I ofcourse have to think about every now and then. And, it is based on how my own role fits into the equation.
I will state these in a reverse order from the least important to the most important.
#3 : Skill is still very important
In every profession, the key difference between an amateur and a pro was and still is skill. How well to do a job is still very important and perhaps more important now. This is because, in today's world of transactional relationships, if you cannot do your job, you will not get compensated.
#2: Attribution is important.
In today's age of copy paste freedom heaven, it is important that people know who did the job. Whether it is by having your name on your work, or making sure everyone knows through word of mouth, attribution is important than ever before.
#1 Defining what needs to be done for yourself and for others.
This is perhaps the most important job. Everyone is struggling today to define their work. If you can do that not only for yourself, but also for others, that is leadership. People should be able to understand their own work based on your actions, thought processes and outputs.
Let me know what you think .....
