Most offices have an Eeyore. The Black Cloud of Doom follows them everywhere. These misery magnets attract bad news and bad vibes. Winners spot these people and steer clear. Especially in tough economic times, keeping Eeyores away is even more important.
Winners are dreamers.
Winners are constantly doodling new ideas on the walls, asking a lot of questions, and trying to figure out a better way of doing things. Winners recognize that the way we do our jobs is changing rapidly, and they are always on the lookout for great new stuff. Winners are connectors. Winners like to introduce people to one another. They don't jealously guard good people from others to try and keep them from leaving.
