The Career Advice I Wish More Young Professionals Heard

Most people think career growth comes from working harder.
I agree that sometimes it does. Even though i believe its relative
But after a certain point, everyone around you is working hard too.
What separates people isn't effort.
It's value. I would be asking what is value if i were you.
Value is what you bring to the table most times you dont know what it is but its what stands you out in the grand scheme of things.
I've noticed that the professionals who become indispensable do a few things differently:
They don't just report problems they bring solutions.
They communicate the impact of their work.
They build strong relationships.
They do what they say they will do.
They keep learning because there is o end to learning
They are easy to work with.
In many organisations, technical skills get you hired.
Human skills determine how far you go. Like knowing what the rules of engagement are and not just knowing it but doing it.
The question isn't:
"How do I become more qualified?"
The question is:
"How do I become more valuable?"
What's one habit you've seen in people who become indispensable at work?
