The answer to this question most likely depends on how big an organization do you work with.
In a big big organization. Your value oil is that of oil. Processes are the machine. Your job's to follow the processes to the T. Done! Following processes to the T means you are involved in sorting little niggles, little issues that hinder those processes.
The machinery so often shields you from the heat, the world outside, the competitors. Big issues are out of your radar.
In a smaller organization, you are the machine. Perhaps you are the oil too. You are directly facing the heat. Perspiring, fighting, thinking, acting, warding off threats. You are the decision-maker. You are the process-maker, you are the process-follower. You are the doer. Life, full of issues. If learning is what you measure your life by, it would be a rich life.
