– when they find their boss unreasonable, they double their efforts, or ask their boss to prioritize what the boss wants first

– take responsibility, fully, not say ‘my part is well done, my colleague shirks’

– have a high tolerance (almost love) for uncertainty and disappointment

– embrace risk, understand and manage risk

– listen to people who either have a track record or justification of what they say

– they choose advisers whom they can trust

– love their area of work.

– if they find work that does not help them grow, they choose another area

– having the guts to speak their mind

– not saying ‘I have the qualifications to do a much bigger job’
