You can find the answer to this question by reading the following true stories about employees who developed certain characteristics or attributes that make them valuable to the company. As you read each case, decide what attribute the employee has and write it on the worksheet.
Employee #2 Mark
Mark had just graduated from high school. His uncle, a construction contractor, helped him get his first part-time job at a lumber company. When he wasn’t working, he went to college. His supervisor told him if things went well they would eventually make him a delivery driver. After the first day, Mark was ready to quit! He shoveled weeds in the hot sun around the building. He did the same thing the next day. Each day brought a new challenge--wash all the company trucks, clean the restrooms, shovel more weeds. After three months, Mark’s supervisor told him to go get his chauffeur’s license to deliver the lumber. He was happy.
Employee #3 Fast Food Owner
The owner of a fast-food franchise would stop by once in a while and see how his store managers and teenage employees were doing. He would pick different times of the day to do so. His employees had specifically been assigned certain tasks such as: sweep the floor, wipe down the tables, wait on customers, cook the food, etc. One day he decided to put some ketchup on a shutter at the window to see if any employee would notice it and wipe it off. He decided to leave the store and come back another day to see if the shutter had ever been cleaned. He waited several days. To his surprise when he returned the ketchup was still on the shutter.
What characteristic was the owner looking for in his employees that he did not find?
