BE THE STAR WE KNOW YOU ARE

Becoming a STAR at work involves more than just turning out a great work product. You will quickly notice that the successful people in your office do the following:

1. Have a positive attitude;
2. Get involved to solve problems, without regard to whether this falls under their job description;
3. Participate in meetings, making sure what they have to say is of value and is said comfortably and with confidence;
4. Share ideas they have that will benefit their employer as a whole;
5. Decline the opportunity to involve themselves with office politics or disagreements/conflicts among fellow workers;
6. Share the credit for a job well done, both personally and publicly, with those that assisted in getting the task completed; and
7. Assert themselves by professionally and humbly making their superiors aware of their talents, abilities and successes.

Practicing these simple ideas, along with continually producing a stellar work product, will make you the STAR we know you are!!
