1. Goal
You are working for a purpose and an employee who keeps his eyes on the goal will never lose its way or even the determination that he has the very first day he started
Since your life goals are your source of motivation, you’d always feel excited and eager to go that extra mile each and every time you are working on a task therefore resulting into daily productivity and great outputs.
2. Reliability
Top performers are always reliable and dependable in their own work ethics and when a situation arises. As an example, you report to work on time without exceeding breaks, vacation, or similar to which because you believe that time is precious for it to be wasted.
Reliability means you are the “GO TO GUY.” If they want something done, they go to you. The company can depend on you any time and you are always ready to face issues within his concern instead of blaming it to others or to the company itself.
3. PRODUCTIVITY
A top performer chooses high volume of quality work over quantity consistently. The word productivity means one thing in general but differs in terms of the job itself.
Say you’re working in a recruitment firm, productivity for you is the numerous numbers of qualified applicants interviewed and presented with an offer on the spot. For salespersons, it means number of sold items or services; or for courier companies, these are the number of deliverables in a day without any delays or complaints received; so on…
4. RELATIONSHIP
This is an employee who has good relationship building skills adjusting to different people whom he is working with. This person knows how to interact, communicate, deal with his co-workers and be able to build a strong and lasting relationship with them as a team and as part of one company.
Despite the differences, instead of putting up a wall, he then lowers it down and leads the group to be united.
5. PROBLEM SOLVING
This person considers problems as hindrances towards the company’s success, that’s why in order to move forward he will work on the issues carefully and make its way to success. You must always possess creativity and resourcefulness because by using these techniques, you will be able to find a way which is easier and faster.
Always be up for challenges!
