Value creation is the primary aim of any business entity

Creating value for customers helps IT solutions and services, while creating value for shareholders, in the form of increases in sales and presence, insures the future availability of investment capital to fund operations. From a financial perspective, value is said to be created when a business earns revenue (or a return on capital) that exceeds expenses (or the cost of capital). But some analysts insist on a broader definition of "value creation" that can be considered separate from traditional financial measures.

"Traditional methods of assessing organizational performance are no longer adequate in today's economy,"

according to ValueBasedManagement.net. "Stock price is less and less determined by earnings or asset base. Value creation in today's companies is increasingly represented in the intangible drivers like innovation, people, ideas, and brand."

Although the intangible factors that drive value creation differ by industry, some of the major categories of intangible assets include technology, innovation, intellectual property, alliances, management capabilities, employee relations, customer relations, community relations, and brand value. In this way, focusing on value creation forces an organization to adopt a long-term perspective and align all of its resources toward future goals.

Being a Team Palyer

Show that you care - it's the little stuff that matters most

It's a long journey. it takes time crafting your people skills, figuring out how to prioritize between your company's needs and your teammates' needs, finding your own ways to keep your technical skills and deliveries.

Little surprises can lead to a long lasting impact on your team, bigger than any salary increase or fat bonus. Make it your job to know your people better, understand what drives them and show them that you've noticed.

It could be related to a progress made in some feature, maybe there is something or someone that holds them back or simply to share an interesting observation. I believe that being a great leader requires us to become proactive, to communicate before people ask for it.

Aimbitius Programmer

The best programmers do not program only as a means to bring fame and fortune to themselves. Sure, programming can be profitable, but what you need is some passion. When you learn to program, being remembered and honored should be the last thing on your mind. If you want to become an elite coder, you need to think about programming in a whole different way. Do it because you enjoy it, not because you simply want to reap its financial and social benefits.

Don't get me wrong. I want to change the world too. But you need to start small, down in the grass, where everything you do is for your enjoyment. To me, it sounds like you're taking it too seriously!

All my life I have loved computers. They're amazing! My computer, at its root, is just a bunch of metal and electricity. Yet somehow, people have found ways to make that metal come to life! I always found that spectacular. That's why I started programming. I wanted to be one of those people who could say, this is my computer.

I think the reason you keep losing your 'ambition' is because you have too much of it - you need to do what you want, and explore the wonderful world of computers the way you want. You're trying so hard to be the next super star that you're completely missing the fun involved! Just take it easy. Try out some experiments! Break things! Completely mess up! Mistakes are okay! You don't have to give up your dreams of being a household name, but you shouldn't think about it now. You need to embrace failure and treat it like a challenge. It's not about the big victories, it's about the small ones. Every time you overcome a bug or get past a barrier in your pen-testing adventures, smile! The goal here is to be having fun.

Take on a project or two. Get involved with the community. Soon enough, the things you do in your spare time for enjoyment might bring you fame and fortune after all.

If you continue on with your current mindset, you're not going to get anywhere. Program because you like to program, not because you want the benefits of programming. Success is a side effect of passion.
