I work in a restaurant and the suggestions you mentioned even applied to me, a non-office worker! Up-selling the menu to increase sales and tips is best done once you've dirtied your hands in the kitchen, dish-pit and behind the bar. Taking bits and pieces from your co-workers is essential for personal success, and your tree analogy helped demonstrate this well. Great for visual learners like myself!

I liked how you compared being the best or "tallest" to plants. It was an interesting comparison but easily understandable. Good tips, especially when you talked about being the widest.

One of the great things about being a UX/Front End Developer is that everybody knows something different. I've learned a lot by pulling bits and pieces of info from other designers.
