The follow-up to that might be “It’s better to be a behind-the-scenes advisor and let the mayor take the credit for your ideas. That way you don’t make an enemy of the mayor and you can focus on actually doing good rather than appearing to look good.”
If that was the point of the original article then I would subscribe it immediately, it’s immensely better to be able to operate with some frontman doing the social job. But that doesn’t seem what was implied, or at least nothing that I could detect: the OP contrasted “being promoted, get good assignment” with “doing stuff”. Can you be an advisor to a general and still being a lieutenent?
