# Such Employees Will Surely Become Executives

> This article outlines twelve key qualities that employees need to develop in order to advance to executive positions, including loyalty, dedication, initiative, responsibility, efficiency, results orientation, communication, cooperation, continuous improvement, humility, frugality, and gratitude. Each quality is accompanied by specific behaviors that exemplify it.

**1. Loyalty – The loyal are never fired**
A company may dismiss capable employees, but no leader would want to let go of a loyal one. Such a person becomes the longest-serving soldier in the company's iron camp and the employee with the most promising future.
1. Think from the boss's perspective;
2. Share your ideas with superiors;
3. Always protect the company's interests;
4. Think about how to make money for the company;
5. Resist external temptations.

**2. Dedication – Work one more hour than the boss every day**
As society progresses, people's educational backgrounds are becoming more similar. Academic qualifications and diplomas are no longer the primary criteria for hiring. Many companies now consider dedication as the first condition, followed by professional competence.
1. The purpose of work is not just remuneration;
2. Provide service and effort beyond what is paid for;
3. Be willing to make personal sacrifices for work;
4. Blur the line between work and rest; rest only after completing tasks;
5. Pay attention to every detail in work.

**3. Initiative – Don't wait for instructions**
Don't wait for others to tell you what to do. If you can do everything proactively, even if you start from a lower point, you will have great development. Proactive employees are always favored by bosses.
1. Shift from "I have to do" to "I want to do";
2. Proactively take on "extra" tasks;
3. Act first and talk later, surprising your superiors;
4. Learn to self-recommend;
5. Set high standards: do three steps for every one required;
6. Gauge the level of initiative; don't be eager to show off or steal others' work.

**4. Responsibility – No excuses, ensure task completion**
Employees who dare to take responsibility are of great significance to the enterprise. A person's work ability may be inferior, but they must not lack a sense of responsibility. If you make excuses and blame objective reasons without self-reflection, you will lose the trust of your superiors.
1. The core of responsibility lies in a sense of duty;
2. Do every small thing well;
3. Be true to your word and resolute in action;
4. If it's wrong, it's wrong; never make excuses;
5. Stop the problem from passing on;
6. Don't let a small oversight lead to a big mistake.

**5. Efficiency – Calculate your cost of use**
Efficient work habits are essential for anyone aspiring to success and are highly valued by every organization.
1. Say goodbye to busywork and aimless effort;
2. Focus without distraction;
3. Quantify and detail your daily work;
4. Procrastination is the most vicious career killer;
5. Remember priorities; put first things first;
6. Prevent perfectionism from becoming the enemy of efficiency.

**6. Results-oriented – Value achievements, not efforts**
"Whether black cat or white cat, a cat that catches mice is a good cat!" Whether you work hard or smart, employees who produce results are recognized by everyone. Enterprises value how much "merit" you have, not how much "suffering" you endure.
1. Think from the start about how to get things done;
2. There are always more solutions than problems;
3. Work smart, not just hard;
4. If conditions don't exist, create them;
5. Complete tasks beyond expectations.

**7. Good communication – Speak up and resolve on the spot**
Those who are poor at communication, no matter how talented, only have their own abilities; they cannot pass on knowledge or improve. Those who communicate well, even if mediocre, can learn while doing and ultimately realize their value.
1. Communication and gossip are two different things;
2. Not speaking and speaking too much are both mistakes;
3. Raise issues with solutions, communicate face-to-face, and resolve immediately;
4. Develop the emotional intelligence to accept criticism;
5. Keep the big picture in mind; report both good and bad news;
6. Internal conflicts are allowed, but external unity is essential.

**8. Cooperation – Team first, self second**
Team first, self second. No matter how strong your personal ability, if you harm the team, the company will not let you stay long – don't think the team can't function without you!
1. A drop of water merges into the sea; an individual merges into the team;
2. Follow overall arrangements;
3. Discipline ensures combat effectiveness;
4. Don't be the team's "short board"; if you are, "grow taller";
5. Consider others and the team more.

**9. Continuous improvement – Always keep pace with the company**
Individuals must always keep pace with the company, and the company must always keep pace with the market. Whether in the workplace or the market, whether individual or company, participants do not want to be eliminated. To this end, you must move forward; stopping means giving up and being out!
1. Learn with an empty cup mentality;
2. Don't always get angry; strive to be better;
3. Don't repeat one year's experience for ten years;
4. Squeeze time to "grow" and "recharge";
5. Develop your "comparative advantage";
6. Challenge yourself and prepare for the future.

**10. Humility – High talent need not be arrogant**
High talent need not be arrogant. Don't think that if you don't say or publicize it, others won't see your contributions. So don't show off in front of colleagues.
1. Don't seek credit or rewards;
2. Overcome the feeling of being "overqualified";
3. Don't put on airs or rely on seniority;
4. Respect everyone;
5. Strive to match your reputation with reality; be worthy of your position;
6. Achievements are just the beginning; honor is motivation.

**11. Frugality – Don't treat the boss's money as not money**
Frugality is not stinginess; it is a virtue. Don't treat the company's money as not money. If there is more in the company's "pot," there will be more in the employees' "bowls." And the one holding the ladle is you.
1. Be honest in expense reports;
2. Don't play tricks or take petty advantages;
3. Don't waste company resources, even a piece of paper;
4. Cherish every minute of work time;
5. Strive for maximum return on every cost;
6. Remember: what you save is profit!

**12. Gratitude – Think about who made you who you are today**
Why can we allow our own mistakes but complain so much about others and the company? Even the most talented person needs others to give them opportunities to work and help, big or small. Your current happiness is not achieved by you alone.
1. The boss gives you a job;
2. Work gives you not only remuneration but also opportunities to learn and grow;
3. Colleagues cooperate with you in work;
4. Customers help you create performance;
5. Competitors show you the gap and room for development;
6. Critics help you improve yourself.
