Be proactive: Top performers don’t wait for opportunities or instructions – they act swiftly and create their own. They are keen observers who constantly look for ways to improve existing processes or develop new ones. Most of us work in environments that are far from perfect, but we often get used to them and rarely make an effort to improve. This is where proactiveness makes a difference. If we report a problem and also suggest a well-thought-out solution, we stand out.

Help others succeed: Focusing solely on personal wins may bring success, but to become a top performer, we must also be team players who lift others. An organization cannot thrive when everyone is focused only on individual goals. When we collaborate and help each other excel, we produce ground-breaking results.
