This is a great point, however, at most companies you have to put on an "act" that you are "nimble" and not just doing your job well. Nobody cares if you're doing your job well. If you put too much energy into that, you'll be viewed as stodgy, stuck in your ways, resistant to change, and ushered out. Excellence is not valued as much as skills in the latest market transition. And it's not your company's fault, they're trying to stay in business until they're roadkill for Amazon or a company in Asia.

I don't get your point. Surely an excellent worker is also somebody who is eager to learn and keeps up with the newest developments keenly? Why would they be two contradictory traits? Perhaps you confused "stubbornness" with "excellence".
