Choosing Professionalism

Professionals

Do their best work even when they’re not having their best day because people are counting on them

Take ownership of their actions—they make mistakes but not excuses

Seek to serve others rather than seeking fame for themselves

Understand that their reputation follows them wherever they go

Know that imperfect actions are better than perfect ideas

Act with integrity on and off the clock

Don’t gossip

Take responsibility for their growth

Never stop learning

Build their organizations and team up, not tear them down

Over-deliver every time

Share what they've learned and pay it forward

Crush the job they have even when it’s not the job they want


If you can check off these boxes you’ll be an asset wherever you are and build a reputation with limitless potential. Apply these with consistency and in time, any job you want is yours.
