Groundhog Day is coming and with it memories and memes of the classic Bill Murray film. Is experiencing the same thing over and over again a nightmare or a dream? There are some traits that never get old, no matter how many times you encounter them professionally. Here are three evergreen attributes that will enhance your career and refresh your colleagues:
• Humility. Arrogance is one of the most alienating traits. If you constantly put yourself, your perspective, and your priorities first, your coworkers will avoid you. Valuing the input and contributions of others improves your outcomes and strengthens your relationships.
• Heart. Authenticity and investment matter. If you genuinely care about your work and consistently attend to your colleagues, you will enhance your workplace and improve your quality of life.
• Humor. Life is too short, and workdays are too long, to take yourself too seriously. You won’t regret it if you infuse your workday with a little lightheartedness—as Bill Murray and Punxatawney Phil can tell you.
