Written by You would probably ask, is it possible to achieve career success with 5Ds? Yes, it is possible. These 5Ds I am referring to
stands for Dependability, Determination, Delight, Detailed and Devoted.
Not only will they increase your chances of achieving career success, they will
also increase your
motivation at work.
Throughout my working experience, I have had the chance of observing bosses,
colleagues and staff members perform their tasks. And I noticed a pattern that
exists with people who achieve career success in the level relevant to them.
They carried with these 5 traits when tackling their work.
1. Dependability
Dependability means taking
first person responsibility when you are given a job to do. You never blame
someone for your work that is not done right. It means you take the
initiative to see the job is done to the best of your ability. You take
great pride in the work assigned to you.
When you are dependable, you become a competitive advantage for your
organization. You are seen as someone worthy of more important assignments and
hence increase your chances of achieving career success.
2. Determined
Being determined means having the stamina to see things through regardless of
how tough they are. If you are to achieve career success, having determination
is one critical factor. It not only ensures that you complete your work at hand
no matter how tough, it also ensures that you achieve your long-term
career goals.
A determined person is usually fueled by a keen sense of duty and passion for
the work. When you do your work with
passion, the quality will shine through and people will notice it.
3. Delight
Be a delight to work with in your workplace. No one likes to work with a grouch.
Having a pleasing disposition, smile, never say die, being positive regardless
of how huge the challenge, is part of being delightful at work. A delight at
work carries with them a
positive attitude. It is the positive energy that they rub off on you that
makes you want to work with them. It is a real and sincere feeling.
When you carry with you a smile and a positive attitude at work, you are
known as a delight. You will notice that colleagues wish for you to achieve
career success. You can see them wish positive things for you.
4. Detailed
A detailed worker never lets work that is haphazard leave their hands. A
detailed person slogs to ensure that everything that is supposed to work is
looked into. They are the people that take that extra precaution and the
initiative to make sure things become near perfect. Just enough is not in their
vocabulary. Good enough just isn’t good enough for them.
For the detailed, only the best is good enough. When you are a detailed
person your bosses
trust you with jobs that need multitasking. They know you can be relied on
to make sure everything little aspect is looked into. Such tasks increase your
chance to achieve career success.
5. Devoted
A devoted worker is an enthusiastic worker. When you become an enthusiastic
worker, you are focused on the tasks at hand. You also become focused on the
bigger goals of the organization. Due to this you are not as vulnerable to the
‘disturbing ghosts’ in your organization that is always causing disruption by
being a complainer and spreading negative energy.
In order to achieve career success, it is important for you to cultivate
these 5Ds. They help increase your chances of achieving career success. Besides,
these qualities will also increase your work
motivation.
