12 habits that will get you promoted

1. Do everything you do as unto the Lord. Col. 3:17 tells us “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Remember who you working for. It’s not enough to remember Jesus is watching, do it like you are reporting directly to Jesus.

2. Work with a grin. Enjoy the trip. Have fun! Be the kind of worker that people enjoy being around.

3. Come early and stay as long as you are needed. Fifteen minutes early is on time. Come early enough to have everything done to begin on time!

4. Do error free work- Be efficient!

5. Be a team player. Esteem the team (Value others). Look for ways to lighten the load of others around you, especially the level of leadership above you.

6. Look for innovative ways to do what you are presently doing.

7. Become the best at what you do.

8. Produce results (Bear fruit) I love Psalm 92:12-14 ‘The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green.”

9. Be dependable

10. Make yourself where they can’t live without you. Don’t live off yesterday’s accomplishments, earn the right to be on the team.

11. Be a problem solver! Problem solvers always have a job, they are always in demand!

12. Do whatever it takes! Be an Ameri-can not an Ameri-can’t. Get-er’-done!

    These are very practical and doable, if a person is willing to commit themselves to applying the principles. As a supervisor, these are the very kinds of things I look for in employees. As a worker, I aspire to fulfill them in my own working life. Thanks for sharing!
