• Being Proactive – You try to anticipate challenges and you aim to provide a ‘no-surprises’ experience to stakeholders and your manager by keeping the team apprised of issues or late changes that you become aware of.

You like to learn, and welcome opportunities to cross-train with other individuals to gain knowledge about other processes and to share your knowledge with others.
