Who wouldn’t want to be the perfect employee? Be it for the boss or the other employees. A so-called “Everybody’s Darling”. But what do you really need to stand out as an exceptionally good employee? To answer this question, we have put together an ABC of a perfect employee.
Different Thinking
Not only always think black and white – there are so many other colors in the additive color wheel. Don’t always take the same path, but instead try to solve a problem in a whole new way. It is precisely through this ability that you set yourself apart from your fellow competitors. You are the colleagues who are happy to be consulted for innovative solutions.
Be Yourself
Yes, a little English never hurts. So be yourself and don’t let others put you off, true to the motto “be yourself or be nobody”. Because a duplicate of another person really only needs on «Hollywood Boulevard».
Charming
They are popular everywhere, usually have a huge network, and are therefore also successful at work. It is easier to charming people not only in dating shows but also in their work lives.
Perseverance
“Bite your teeth and get through it” – is a phrase that is often used in everyday office life. Often things don’t go smoothly or some tasks are less suitable for you. Therefore it is a question of defeating your weaker self and appealing to your own willpower. Because only with this stamina will you be able to achieve great success. Or do you know a company that has never come from the eaves into the rain?
Emotional intelligence
Intelligence always sounds good – and emotions, yes, we can still appeal to them in everyday life. But this usually sounds easier than it is actually implemented. So-called soft skills are increasingly in demand these days. Are you aware of your own feelings and abilities? Are you in control of your feelings and senses? Are you able to control your own emotions?
Hardworking
Hard-working bees are not only welcome beings in nature but also in business, because nothing works without them. And anyway, doesn’t it mean “hard work, no price”? You all agree with me when I say that diligence alone already contributes a great deal of added value to success. Likewise, diligence in a team is contagious, because who wants to act as the weakest link in the chain?
Fair
Justice is the basic norm of human coexistence … Yes, Aristotle already dealt with this topic. But let’s keep it short today. Justice is essential to be able to work in a team, whether tall, short, fat, thin, woman or man, every employee should treat others fairly so that they can then be treated fairly themselves. Because as you call into the forest, it echoes out.
Helpful
Yes, you are the last-ditch savior, be it for business or broken hearts. In every company, there is at least one good soul who sacrifices their time to make everyday life easier for their valued colleagues. But be careful, helpfulness also always goes down well with customers.
Innovative
Little Einstein slumbers in you – perfect! You are always looking for a new idea or an improvement to the existing system. These people are always welcome. Because those who do not work innovatively are already on the way to immersion.
Jovial
Jovi-what ?! Also known as “benevolent”. This describes the type of behavior that one shows towards others. Look for the positive in everyday life and treat your fellow human beings with friendliness – you will be surprised how many will smile back!
Communicative
More than just like to talk a lot. Those who can communicate well find it easier to build up a large network. Because communicative strength has a positive effect on your charisma. Good communication also has a preventive effect on all kinds of disputes.
Lively
I’m sure you know it too. This one employee is always there, but you still don’t notice him because he is drowning in the crowd. Don’t be the needle in the haystack. We welcome employees who are lively and share their love of life with others. This directly increases the working atmosphere and motivates you to work.
Really good
There is no other way to describe it. You make gold out of the lead and you have everything under control. There is no bad day for you, only good and excellent days – you are just in a really good mood.
Curious
You not only want to be up to date in terms of gossip but also terms of business technology. You are interested in all areas and are therefore open to learning new things again and again.
Optimistic
No matter how deep you fall, you stand up, straighten the crown and let’s go! With you, there is no illusion. In every situation, you remain optimistic and see the sun on the horizon. In this positive way, you are not only doing something good for yourself, but also your team members.
Personality
Remain in the mind of the customer. You can of course do that with good performance, but also with your personality, with which you can literally blow the customer away. In our fast-moving times, in which some work is already done by robots, we have to stand out from such machines all the more. So don’t be afraid to smile or use a humorous expression.
Lateral thinker
Don’t always take the nicely traced path, solve problems or assignments differently. See the world from other perspectives too. This allows you to understand things that were previously rather unclear.
Revolutionary
Martin Luther King slumbers in you. You don’t let everything sit on you and look for new challenges. Some risks must always be taken to be successful.
Smart
Clever, resourceful, and business-minded are adjectives that could not have been better described as “smart”. Don’t take it all at face value. Form your own opinion and act with conviction.
Team-oriented
Usually, it is not possible alone, but only in a team. Cohesion and team spirit are things that everyone needs to get along in the business world. Accept ideas from your colleagues, benefit from their strengths, and in return give them your best.
No problem
Sometimes things don’t go as planned and the whole daily schedule is upside down – what now? Take it easy and come up with a new plan. Exactly this simplicity is needed in pretty much every job because most of the time things don’t go like clockwork.
Reliable
Being able to rely on someone is one of the best feelings there is. It’s the same at work. If you can be relied on, then you are already a valued employee.
Inquisitive
We never stopped learning. We learn something new every day and thus increase our knowledge, but only if we really want to. It is the same in the job. You can only learn new things if you really want to and are inquisitive. Ask questions, stay curious and recognize your training opportunities – both professionally and personally.
Young at Heart
“Young at heart” is beneficial both for you personally and at work. Are you interested in politics, innovations in your industry, and personal development opportunities? You are never too old for something that still gives you pleasure. Discover new interests at work and in private life, because we never stop changing.
Determined
Determined for the reason that one can only achieve something through an iron will without giving up at the slightest inconvenience. You keep the goal in view, you have perseverance and you don’t get confused so easily. Remember: Even J. K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” manuscript was rejected by 12 publishers!
