A Management Maverick is someone who moves forward and implements solutions without the support of his internal and external customers. Occasionally, this results in great success. More often than not, though, he creates an undesirable issue for the company. The Management Maverick’s main obstacles to success are:

He does not consistently create value. Successful people know that true value lies in finding solutions to other people’s problems. Making decisions and taking action without any input or support from your business partners is not a lasting strategy. You must establish yourself as a key figure in the organization, and a big part of this is being actively involved with your coworkers and helping them solve their problems.

He does not demonstrate the value he does create. His own perception of the value he creates is greater than the perceptions of his customers or supervisors. If your business partners are not aware of and supportive of your work, their appreciation will never cycle back to reward you. Your personal brand helps distinguish you and amplify your success far beyond what is possible when no one knows who you are and what you’re all about.
