Does your work help you fulfill some societal goal or personal dream that is important to you? Are your personal work goals aligned with the organization's priority goals? Are you highly committed to and energized by your work and organization, giving them your best ideas and performance? Does your enthusiasm also spread to and energize your coworkers? Instead of waiting for or merely accepting what the leader tells you, do you personally identify which organizational activities are most critical for achieving the organization's priority goals? Do you actively develop a distinctive competence in those critical activities so that you become more valuable to the leader and the organization? When starting a new job or assignment, do you promptly build a record of successes in tasks that are important to the leader? Can the leader give you a difficult assignment without the benefit of much supervision, knowing that you will meet your deadline with highest-quality work and that you will "fill in the cracks" if need be? Do you take the initiative to seek out and successfully complete assignments that go above and beyond your job
