Make Frequent Self-Assessments
When friends casually ask me “How are you doing?” I often jokingly reply: “I’m not sure but I intend to sit under a tree tomorrow and ask myself some questions to find out.” Most employees make the mistake of waiting around for their organizations to complete an annual formal appraisal instead of frequently sitting under a shady tree somewhere and asking themselves questions similar to these.
Am I currently transmitting a positive or negative attitude?
Is my attitude influencing the quality and quantity of my personal productivity in a positive way?
Am I sufficiently positive to be considered a fun and comfortable co-worker?
Am I communicating to superiors through my attitude that I seek career advancements?
