How do you deal with keeners? Anyone experience this? I’m not lazy, would consider myself proactive but sometimes people are next level

I heard an expression somewhere- I’m gonna butcher it but effectively- if you imagine keenness on a 1-10 scale- Tens will hire tens… eights hire other eights or lower etc. It’s kind of a bias and should be acknowledged and addressed. If you’re an 8 make sure you’re encouraging the 10s, not suppressing them.
So I’d say…Encourage them. Give them work, opportunity, ask what they want, give access to training, let them sit in on next level discussions. Help them be their ’keenest’

I’m there with ya!
Do your best and forget their antics. Hopefully, your managers are smart and can smell bullshit. But if not, there’s not much you can do.

Op tell me more about this keener, curious what kind of things they do that makes you describe them as “next level”?

Today, I showed a TED Talk about the Guatemalan genocide. We were discussing the role of forensic anthropologists. It made such an impact on my students. I teach in a super red state and district and often my students do not see the pain of our Central American neighbors and why they seek asylum here. I tied their plight to my mom’s post-WWII and asked them why she was welcomed by our current immigrants are not. It was so powerful. One of my LatinoX students told me thank you for today’s lesson.

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!
