The All-Star Employee

Thanks for joining us here in the Business Discussion space! I hope this week is treating you well! Today I'm going back to the basics to remind employers and new potential employees of a few skills that all-star workers display.

Communication
Clear speaking, active listening, and concise writing

Organization
Categorizing, sorting, and prioritizing physical and virtual environments in the workplace

Punctuality
Managing your time, showing up on time, meeting deadlines, and completing important tasks

Teamwork
Works well with others, relating to colleagues, and managing conflict

Emotional Intelligence
Recognizing one's own and other people's emotions and using it to guide thinking and behavior

Creativity
Thinking out-of-the-box by seeing things differently and proposing novel solutions

Adaptability
Adjusting to abrupt change, managing multiple tasks in a fast paced environment, and persevering through difficulties

You may feel like you have most of these memorized, but some you may have unintentionally pushed to the side. Sometimes going over the basics is a nice refresher. Have a good one folks!
