Anyone knows that if you want to perform well, the basic approach is to come early and stay late. The amount of time an employee spends in the office is a key factor, but it doesn't necessarily reflect the actual results they achieve. A CEO's executive assistant may frequently update their schedule to friends so they know when to come in late or leave early. This environment is suitable for those who lack motivation and responsibility but is a major hassle for others. Leaders often overemphasize input while neglecting results. While coming early and staying late may sometimes be necessary, results are the true measure of an employee's ability and responsibility. Results are the standard, not the time spent in the office.
