What is the best approach to associate with great people in our life?

Work for the greatest, best possible boss you can.

Even if the job isn’t the greatest, bestest.

If you totally kill it, for the best boss you’d ever have … she’ll take you great places.  If you’re one of the top hires they’ve ever made.

She’ll promote you.  Bring you to their next company.  Make intros — gratefully — to the Next Thing.  She’ll want to.  She mentored you.  She picked you.  She’ll want you to win.

Once you deliver for her.
