Job titles don’t always capture value creation in an organization. They do have their place in our professional lives. For example, they do a fine job aligning a company’s org chart.

Position labels can also become an excuse to command superiority over another person, and confer a badge of honor that isn’t always achieved in reality. What if our job titles moved in real-time, based on the value we are adding to the business instead?
