There’s somebody who just got promoted in your organization. The bosses and coworkers extolled him while advising others to learn from him. Now, you’re wondering, how did he do it? What is this particular employee that everybody loves doing differently? Some employees are good, while others are great, and they stand out. Achieving this as an employee may not be very difficult, and you do not have to work for years before getting that promotion.
Great employees are proactive. In addition to carrying out the assigned tasks, they have a sixth sense for identifying what others would naturally miss and would act quickly with very little supervision from the bosses.
They love their work and do it passionately. If you do the work you love, it would be difficult not to excel at it. Great employees go to work every day feeling very happy because they love their job. It is, therefore, easy for them to do well in the workplace.
They influence others positively. Successful employees have a way of motivating and influencing their coworkers to be great. They know just what to say to lift you when you're down. They are not always about themselves; they are aware of their surroundings and are always ready to make other workers and the organization great.
They are emotionally intelligent. How well you are able to control your emotions would go to determine how great an employee you become. They do not take offense or let any negativity get to them. Instead, they analyze situations carefully and act according to what is required.
