Five Traits Needed to Get on Top

[NYCEMS9115]

1) Energy: The ability to arrive at work with positive energy to get the job done is significant. While everyone has a bad day from time to time, the individual with an exceptional energy level stands out. Able to transition through some challenges but performances stand out.

2) Motivation: The motivation to succeed despite obstacles is important. Surviving adversity and recovering from them. Life changing obstacles do not hinder progression of performance. Motivation supports high energy level and vice versa.

3) Big picture: The ability to maintain a realistic big picture while taking care of today's job tasks is critical. Remain open to new opportunities and actively pursued new assignments. Realized that today is but a "snapshot" in time, and that the big picture spans years.

4) Flexibility: In addition to being motivated and having the energy to go the extra mile, remained flexible. This was essential to personal and professional success. Adapting to new situations will lead to personal and professional success.

5) Passion: Early recognition for a passion for healthcare will transition an EMT and paramedic to develop a passion for education. Passions for success is formulated through experiences and education.

Please continue to reinvent yourselves. Stagnation is not progression. The old saying, "Times have changed" is so true. To succeed, one must change the ways which has not been successful.

Of course this is all just conjecture...
