We all need friends and help to shine. Stars always bring their makeup people and hair people to always look their best. Executives bring their team who know and understand them and help them look good. Get on their team and help them shine. Be an entrepreneur.
Companies are full of warm bodies.
Most make as much of an impact on the company as a hand has when you pull it out of a bucket of water. Those who do make an impact think and act differently. They think and act like an owner, not a worker. They own problems. They don't have a 'doing the job' mentality.
