10 More Positive Attitudes to Work Productively

Positive attitude


There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
W. Clement Stone
Technical skills may secure a job for you, but it is your soft skills that propel you to greater height in your career. Here are the attitudes that you should adopt to work productively and achieve career success:

1.       Like what you do: Do you enjoy your work?  It is essential to develop an interest in what you do so that you can work productively.

2.       Enthusiastic: To work enthusiastically is to work with energy. When you work wholeheartedly, you forget the passage of time because you pay full attention at work.

3.       Be confident: Be competent and know your job well so that you can work confidently. It is important that you continue to update your skills and gain the latest technical knowledge to get ahead and stay ahead.

4.       Welcome problems: Solving problems is a fantastic way to gain experience and boost your confidence. After all, you are employed to solve problems. Get over all problems with resolve and resourcefulness.

5.       Take pride in what you do: Do you appreciate what you do at work?  When you take responsibility and produce quality work, it means you care about your reputation. You want to do a good job. You seek excellence.  

Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.
Ralph Marston

 
6.       Take charge: Show initiative and work proactively. Get things done before you are told to do. Observe, anticipate and take preventive measures and not wasting valuable time to put out a fire.


7.       Get the job done: When you start a job get it done completely. It is not the right way or the right attitude to abandon a project. It looks bad on you.

Great effort springs naturally from great attitude.
Pat Riley

8.       Plan your work: The only way to work productively is to work meticulously. Plan ahead and organize your daily tasks using a to-do list.  Working  orderly is the most effective way to achieve productivity

9.       Be trusted: To be responsible is to honor your promises. Be committed to meeting deadlines and get the trust of others in you. Be a valued member of the team

10.   Improve: To grow your career is to make progress. To move forward is to take a risk and get out of your comfort zone. Think and make necessary changes to work more efficiently and effectively. Working the same old way day in and day out will not produce a different result.

My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never.
Duke Ellington
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.
