Earn respect Quote by Niall Harbison
““Somebody who is loud and pushy during their first week rarely stays long. Sometimes you need to be patient and play the long game. Keep the head down. Earn respect. Nobody is going to get promoted in their first week in the job. Star players don’t often put in a match-winning performance in””
