POSITIVE CHARACTER TRAITS

Perhaps my favorite part of touring Pampered Chef's home office last month was a wall they've filled with positive traits they want to encourage in the people who work there. I loved it!

These pictures aren't very good because they weren't intended for sharing, only for reminding myself of what the wall said, but I'm including them anyway. Each picture is a floor to ceiling shot, just for scale reference, and I have all the text written out below since the pictures are hard to read.





Integrity 
Do what's right
Say what you mean.
Be honest and expect honesty.
Trust others and be trustworthy.

Authenticity
Be real, be you
Stay true to who you are.
Don't take yourself too seriously.
Have a positive attitude.
Bring your unique personality into everything you do.

Humility - Stay grounded
Be aware of your strengths and weaknesses.
Give credit when it's due.
Leave your ego at the door.
Ask for help when you need it.

Meritocracy
Drive results, get rewarded
Bring your best to work every day.
Go beyond the day-to-day to achieve stellar results.
Contribute great ideas, the best one wins.
Raise your game.
Forge your own path to greatness.

Passion 
Love what you do
Focus on what excites you.
Dive in with both feet.
Remember that what you do matters.
Be better than you were yesterday.

Accountability
Take ownership
Learn from your mistakes and improve.
Be reliable. Follow through.
Own your ideas and actions.
Be a team player. Act like an owner.

Respect 
Treat others well
Be approachable. Have compassion.
Consider how your actions affect others.
Treat everyone fairly and with dignity.
Acknowledge one another by making eye contact and saying hello.
Talk to people directly, not behind their backs.


This wall was obviously directed toward Pampered Chef's workplace environment, but I think it's a good list of things for all of us to aspire to in every area of our lives.
