Best Practices: Top 5 Traits of Successful Team Members

  • • Example: Suzye Carroll, Project Manager discovered an issue with a pricing calculator and proactively updated it, even though it wasn’t her responsibility
      
      
• Solution-Oriented: Instead of fixating on problems, they focus on finding solutions and overcoming obstacles
  • • Example: Helen Mersiowsky, Project Manager dug deeper into some process challenges, and created a proposal with multiple potential solutions for how work could be better streamlined with a new workflow and updated tools
      
      

• Adaptability: They are flexible and adaptable. They thrive in ever-changing environments and they're able to seamlessly pivot, whenever they encounter new challenges

• Anticipatory Thinking: They move and think fast. They predict potential challenges and preemptively map out back-up plans, in the event that they run into roadblocks
  • • Example: Kurtis Nysmith, Paid Media Sr. Manager not only responded quickly to a client, but also created a video walkthrough + prepared additional report tabs for them before they asked. He also came prepared with weekly agendas, talk tracks, and answers to potential client questions
      
      
• Continuous Learning: They are committed to continuous learning and self-improvement, always seeking to expand their knowledge and skills. They embrace evolution and you won't catch them saying "That's just always how we've done it at Seer
