Aim for zero - Deepstash

Aim for zero

In any given situation you’re either a ‘plus-one’, a ‘zero’ or a ‘minus-one’.

  • If you’re a zero, you’re generally competent and don’t get in the way.
  • If you’re a plus-one, you’re actively adding value. However, if you walk into a situation trying to prove how great you are, you can go from a plus one to a minus one.
