Mostly on this blog you'll find ways companies can be better employers. However here's some questions and considerations for employees to chew on - not surprisingly many of these questions are applicable for the executive team too:
- Do you offer up innovative, creative, doable and financially feasible solutions for improvement? (Or are you simply a yes person, disgruntled and steaming beneath the surface?)
- Do you give 110% every day because that's simply who you are? (Or do you do just enough to make sure you "look good" or better than the person next to you?)
- Do you take responsibility and action when mistakes occur? (Or do you point fingers and desperately look for someone to blame?)
- Are you happily willing do what needs to be done even if it's not "yours" to do?
- When you have a problem, issue or concern, do you take it to someone who can do something about it? (Or whine to anyone who will listen?)
- Do you gossip with co-workers? A close second, do you create drama or division in the office?
- Are you committed to having the company you work for be better and make a bigger positive impact because of your work there?
- Are you thoughtful in how and what you add to the discussion in meetings? (Or do you checkout or perhaps worse, talk to hear yourself talk?)
- Do you bring value to your company and your co-workers every day? How do you know?
- Do you own your attitude?
What other questions do you think should be on this list?
