Every once in a while I succumb to a sports analogy. Apology in advance. Several companies I’ve worked for and consulted with had “Jason Kelce” like employees. They were part of the bedrock. Often you didn’t know of the personal life challenges and pain they had at home. They were part of the machine but sometimes single handedly kept the machine running on weekends, when your had a deployment gone bad or that network ate…..! Some, had a vocabulary like Jason, where I wished at times they had better competency with the hold button. But most of all they defied the adage that your company will forget about you a month after you’re gone. Think about recognizing your “Centers” as much as your fancy players. They are the ones that get you to championships in real life.
