In CV's (or résumé) you often see the phrase results driven. Sounds impressive doesn't it?
I have to admit that this is better than just doing a task in order to tick a box, irrespective of it's outcome. To be actively seeking to deliver a result rather than just blindly following the process likely set in place by someone else, unquestionably and without thought. Not bad.
However, maybe the phrase should be outcome driven or effect driven or purpose driven or even worth driven (See the book, The Gift: How the Creative Spirit Transforms the World by Lewis Hyde on the idea of worth).
Perhaps this is a better way for you to define your hard work and labours. Perhaps this might encourage you to consider the reason for, and the value of, the results you work so hard to deliver.
Considered this way, are your results still so impressive?
