I've come across a lot of people who are gems to their organizations and others who are bad hires. When I speak to co-workers, their language and attitude towards work tells me whether they are an asset or a liability. Based on my experience, I've put down a few points on how to be an asset wherever you are.
1. Do away with excuses. Excuses will not help you achieve anything. They will keep you from overcoming your fears and being your best self. Excuses do not fool others, in fact, they fool you by giving you a false sense of security.
2. Show up every time. Unless you're medically incapable of using your hands and legs, show up whenever and wherever you're expected.
3. Be resourceful. Find opportunities to make meaningful contributions to your customers and the organisation that you serve.
4. Be proactive. Do not say "It's not my job". Nobody became successful by saying that. All successful people said "yes" to responsibilities.
5. If you want to lead, you must first learn to be a good follower. A lot of people want to lead but are rebels to the core when it comes to obedience. You cannot lead others when you cannot lead yourself.
6. 'Be faithful in small things and you will be faithful with bigger responsibilities. But if you're dishonest with small things, you will be dishonest with bigger responsibilities' - Luke 16:10. I strongly believe this.
7. Do your work sincerely, not just for 'eyeservice'. A lot of people speak falsely about the work they did or are doing. They eventually get caught in their web of lies. Integrity is important. Don't compromise it.
