In my 25 years of leading teams, building multiple businesses, and recruiting talent, I have noticed a pattern: the loudest employees on social media often deliver the least value and impact.
The ones constantly posting about “working extra hours,” “putting in the work,” and “posing as experts in their field" on LinkedIn more often than not, are underperformers. The real top performers are too busy executing.
However... that doesn’t mean you should shy away from sharing your accomplishments either.
I know it’s not easy and it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you want to go far in your career, you have to be very vocal about your work. Sure, there are "lowkey" people who are doing amazing and don’t need the publicity, but only a few of them get what they truly deserve.
Your work won’t speak for itself—you have to. Find the balance between making noise and being valuable, because real value isn’t in the noise, it’s in the results!
We love saying, “My work will speak for itself.” But in today’s world, that’s just not enough. You could be doing the most groundbreaking work, but if no one knows about it, does it really exist?
Visibility is not vanity—it’s strategy. It’s ensuring that your expertise, your impact, and your value reach the right people. That means:
➖Sharing your wins (big and small).
➖Positioning yourself as a thought leader.
➖Leveraging platforms to showcase your work.
➖Networking with the right people.
Your work is brilliant. But it needs a voice. Make sure the world hears it. Speak up about it. Show people what you’ve done, let them know the results you’ve been able to achieve and that you’re capable of more.
This was said by one of Ghana billionaire, an entrepreneur, a business mogul. Hello made this statement through his social media handle's today. This is good for the society.
