Eddy: The Good Employee (Part 1)

Its have been discovered in a survey that CEOs, human resources executives, top-level managers, supervisors are in remarkable agreement about the high performance abilities they look for in determining which employees to hire, lay off, fire, or retain. There are eight of them. The key to staying successfully employed will depend on the ability to:

  1. Take charge of your personal life
  2. Demonstrate value added
  3. Have a positive impact on your company, customers and colleagues
  4. Embrace and initiate change
  5. Work harder, smarter, faster and better
  6. Communicate openly and directly
  7. Commit to lifelong learning

Quote by some managers:

“If you’re my employee, it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been on the job, how impressive your resume is, or how many initials and titles come after your name. What matters is what you know, and how you continue to learn to stay on the cutting edge. How you apply that knowledge on the job is what really counts in the organization.”

“We need people who are proactive and who look to the future – both their own and the future of the organization. Our employees must be able to partner with us to stay one step ahead of the game, remain competitive in the challenging marketplace, breakaway from tired old ways of doing things and help us plan for success”

Hello,

Take for bringing out these very valid points. I have proven some of them in my 15 years of being employed in different multinational companies.
