Do you recognize yourself in the following??
Pain of Inefficiency You cant help but notice how things might be done better everywhere, all the time. When you see someone doing something really inefficiently, you have a painful physical reaction and can hardly stop yourself from tapping them on the shoulder and saying, you know, if you just Inefficiency literally hurts you.
Root Cause Fixes While others may be satisfied with temporary band-aid solutions, you see the true source of the problem and cant imagine wasting time on anything besides killing it at its roots. When others see a project getting behind schedule, they think everyone should just work harder. You see the roadblocks in the way that are slowing everyone down and find ways to remove them. While others are giving it more gas, you just remove the emergency brake and go faster and farther with less effort.
That feeling when things are working just right Compliments are good, financial rewards are well deserved...but that feeling. That feeling when things work just right. Now, thats the stuff. Thats what makes your work meaningful and keeps you coming back for more...especially when you see how happy and productive it makes the people around you.
Self-Aware Learner You know what you know and know what you dont know, and are able to quickly learn, understand, and apply new knowledge. You are able to do this, one because you are wicked smart, but more importantly, you are able to discern whats important from whats not, hyper-focusing on the vital few things. When you set your mind to something, theres not much that can stand in your way.
Great Listener & Question Framer You listen to others with just as much intensity and focus as you do everything else in your life. This enables you to listen between the lines, hearing things unsaid, and to ask meaningful follow up questions. You know that a good answer to the right question is infinitely better than a great answer to the wrong question.
Reliability & Accountability When you take on a task or role, you get it done, and get it done at a high level...no questions asked. You do not require anyone to check-in and hold you accountable, but you are really good at doing so for other people ensuring they do what they were supposed to do.
