Did you know that you can "choose" to be irreplaceable within your daily work environment? If I were to have a chat with your boss today, what would he or she say about you? Would they consider you to be irreplaceable or would they be more than willing to "let you go?"
Today let me share with you some of the characteristics that top notch employees have in common. It is these characteristics that allow them to stand above the rest while also, marking them as being irreplaceable.
Be Enthusiastic-Nothing is worse than coming to work on a daily basis and having to work alongside colleagues that moan and groan about their work life and really, about life in general. People are naturally drawn to those who are not only enthusiastic about what they do, but also enthusiastic about life. Would your colleagues say that you are enthusiastic about what you do?
Be a Team Player-Today, more and more organizations are embracing a teamwork model. More and more employers are looking for individuals who can work alongside others for the betterment of the company. If you want to stand out, be a team player!
Be Passionate about What You Do-Are you passionate about what you do on a daily basis? If not, I have to ask-why are you doing what you are doing? If you are not passionate about the work you are completing on a daily basis, it shows. Not only do your fellow colleagues notice, but so does your boss. Employers will keep those who are passionate about their job.
Be Motivated-Are you motivated to go the extra mile? Are you motivated to do everything with excellence? Where does your motivation come from?
Be Positive-What kind of attitude are you "displaying" on a daily basis? Nothing is worse than a negative attitude. Do you tend to see the good things that are taking place, or do you tend to focus only on the negatives? Your attitude can either make you or break you.
Be Teachable-Employers long for team members who are teachable. If you come to work with a know it all attitude, I can guarantee you that you will not last long. Be ready and willing to consistently grow - your boss will notice.
Excel at Your Position-Are you excelling at your position? Are you giving your daily work assignments your everything? Are you doing everything with excellence? Make it your goal to excel at what you do-others will notice.
Take Initiative-When you see areas for improvement, do you tend to chat and discuss with your colleagues "how bad" things are or do you look for ways to help make things better? If you see an area that needs improvement, do you offer using your skill set to improve the situation, or do you just complain about "what still needs to be done?" Employers LOVE those who take the initiative and run with it. Where in your work environment can you take the lead?
Every day, you have the option of choosing to be irreplaceable. What will you do this week to stand out from the crowd?
