Find what you do well and do that well.
When I started in my company, I was useless. I thought with exposure I would dramatically improve and it was not the case. I was honestly barely good enough and popular enough to save me from being disciplined and fired. I hated it. Then they introduced a new and emerging platform which for some reason I just got. I made myself the go-to person in the team about THAT product. I was still pretty retarded in everything else but that product I was king (their nickname not mine).
When they product became big and a team had to be formed around that, I was a natural fit for it. I crafted my role around it.
If you can do the same I recommend it. Do some aspect of your role better than anyone and then make yourself the person everyone looks to when they think of it.
