As an employee Smart work is probably more important than Hard Work.
If you can manage your stakeholders well you don’t need hard work. Perceptions matter.
This works even more for mid to senior roles. The smartest people lead the pack.
As entrepreneur things may be different. I have never seen a successful entrepreneur who does not work hard.
However, I have seen several hardworking entrepreneurs fail. So most successful entrepreneurs are probably both hard workers & smart workers.
In my early career, I was a hard worker
In my mid-career, I became a smart worker
As an entrepreneur, I am a hard worker again
Are you a hard worker or a smart worker?
Which is more important? Why?
Thoughts?
