Stop Ignoring the Stalwart Worker; Harvard Business Review, 8/26/11

Thomas J. DeLong, Harvard Business Review; Stop Ignoring the Stalwart Worker:

"So what exactly is the Stalwart temperament? Perhaps the defining characteristic of Stalwarts is their aversion to calling attention to themselves — even when they need to. They are like the proverbial wheel that never squeaks — and, consequently, gets no grease. The quickest way to identify Stalwarts is to list the people who make the fewest demands on the CEO's time. Such reserve is utterly alien to most Stars, who make sure that they squeak loudly enough to get the attention they want."
