BEING A STAR PERFORMER: (excerpt from Business Finance, August 2001)

"Stars are no more fundamentally smart or ambitiously driven than their average co- workers. The differences are result of patterns of behavior."

Robert Kelly, President of Consultants to Executive and Organizations Ltd."

He is what he found.

1. INITIATIVE: Performs above and beyond specific job responsibilities and offers bold, value-adding ideas; can follow through and implement ideas; can assume some personal risk.

2, NETWORKING: Plugs into a high-quality knowledge network to get the best answers to critical questions; is willing to share personal knowledge with those who need it.

3. SELF-MANAGEMENT: Recognizes that self-manage- ment is more than time or project management; is proactive in carving out a career path and developing talents and work experiences; knows how to add value to the company.

4. PERSPECTIVE: Can view projects or problems through the eyes of others, like customers, competitors, co-workers, and bosses.

5. FOLLOWERSHIP: Will exercise independent, critical judgments while maintaining an ability to work in cooperation with others; can check ego at the door.

6. TEAMWORK: Works with others to set goals and work actrivities; can deal with conflict and help other resolve problems.

7. LEADERSHIP: Uses expertise and influence to accomp- lish tasks: is able to find necessary resouces to complete projects.

8. ORGANIZATIONAL SAVY: Promotes cooperation to get things done; know when to avoid conflicts and when to meet head on; can make allies out of potential enemies.

9. SHOW & TELL: Selects the right message for a particular audience or the right audience for a particular message; develops the right format to make a message understandable and persuasive.

This is a great list to "take to heart/mind" and to review at least once a week, asking "based on my experience this week, what should/could I have done differently."  Believe me! The above qualities are SO RARE that when an employer spots them in an employee that person gets attention.

Also, don't assume your boss is a good role model.  You must self-manage and self-direct using the above principles and ignore the less than star performance that pervade the typical work place.
