We live in a fast-paced world, where being effective and getting better is essential. By-product of that particular approach is our excessive focus on weaknesses.
Instead of always picking on our shortcomings, let’s give praise to our strengths and effort we bring daily into the routine of the concrete jungle. In every company and team, there are talented and hardworking people who don’t get the credit they deserve.
By definition, superhero is a fictional character having superhuman powers or greatly enhanced abilities.
In that sense, each of us has enhanced abilities that are more developed than others. Some are great at math, some possess extraordinary social skills, others have both and that combination on its own is a unique superpower.
In our daily office grind, we disguise ourselves as Clark Kents, Bruce Waynes and Tony Starks. Let’s rip off these gray suits and for once, reveal the real Superheroes at work.
We at Weekdone set out to find and identify these Superheroes. Combining unique human strengths and the theme of Superheroes, we ended up with 10 Superheroes at work.
