Recently on The Apprentice, I had to ask a member of the winning team Kinetic to volunteer to go to the losing team, Arrow.

I was mildly surprised when I saw how many people were willing to risk making the move. Instead of staying on the safe winning team, they offered to move to the other team which was, pretty much, a wreck.

I think it showed how many people were good leaders and wanted to show off their abilities. As long as they were on the winning team they couldn’t take a leadership role. On the losing team, there was more of a chance to shine and they were very aware of that.

That’s obviously the way it is in real life too. When you’re working for a well-oiled successful machine, things are often easier but it’s much harder to stand out. If everyone at your company does a great job, it’s harder to get noticed.

But when you walk into a situation where things are mess, it’s easier to rise to the top and prove your talent. If you can manage to turn things around, even a little bit, you become a hero and a star.
