Your manager can make the connection clear or he or she can make it muddy, but it’s your duty to hold that objective in front of you. I’ve had bosses who naturally did this well and others who didn’t. In both cases, I’ve had to keep my eye on the big picture, and that has helped me develop a sense of commitment, even when I’ve had what felt like a minuscule role. It’s also important to remember that there’s always more going on than what I can see. God is always working on something in me and I can rarely see it while it’s happening.
