You know how Chewbacca didn't get a medal at the end of the first Star Wars movie? I never understood that, considering how important he was in destroying the Death Star and saving the day.

I do remember hearing that George Lucas had said medals don't matter to Wookiees. That they have different ways of honoring their heroes.

Sound familiar, ops leaders? You are the backbone of your company, loyal and dedicated, making sure it all goes according to plan. Your work doesn’t typically get the medal, not because it's not valuable, but because everything just runs smoothly when you’re doing it well. But that doesn’t make you any less of a hero.

In this episode, I'll share why the real heroes often work behind the scenes, in any galaxy. You'll hear how to make a big impact and stay energized, even when your contributions fly under the radar.
