Have you ever came across the person who does about 35,263,774 different little things around the office? They are usually the people of whom the upper management usually asks “What exactly does John Smith do here?”. They also tend, in my experience, to be the first people filing for unemployment when hard times come up. The reason for that is that they get a lot of little things done, but the big things usually sit, and sit, and sit. Most of what they do manage to accomplish are less critical things that can wait or should be done by someone else. Does that describe anyone you know? Hell, does that describe you? It has described me in the past more than once.
