You feel as if you’re in a dead end job but have you used all your keys? For even a door that appear shut has an entrance somewhere. From over 27 years in the business world here is how I found some shiny keys (below) that I believe can fit in anyone’s hand.
(1) FIRST & LAST- Be there before the clock begins and stay after the clock ends. Being there is something every employee loves.
(2) SPECIALIST- Develop your own unique talents or expertise and they’ll be nobody who can replace you.
(3) ATTITUDE- It really is a gold key in business where employees will ignore other less desirable aspects if a great attitude appears instead.
(4) TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FIRST AND FIX IT- Don’t wait till someone else notices an error be the first to admit it and the first to clean it up. Everyone spills Milk but few grab the paper towels.
(5) LISTEN- Not just to the words coming out of your employees mouth but the emotions behind them. If you can empathisize with their feelings they sure will empathisize with your paycheck.
