Every boss wants someone who follows through, which simply means finishing what you start. If a task isn't worth finishing, it probably wasn't worth starting. Everyone is working harder, so it makes sense individually and corporately for people to help each other. Employees with an ounce of life in them want that, too, so long as they're not being worked to death. If you're as helpful as a Soviet emigration official circa 1958, get with the program or you'll be out of a job.
Pleasantness is highly underrated.
It is the social lubricant that enables work to get done within your organization, and makes customers come back. Those who aren't nice don't show common sense. Copyright 2000 Evan Cooper. Click and ask a question about this topic. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
