The ABCs of Good Work

As I move out of a supervisory position at my current job, I decided to leave behind a small sampling of my ideas. I decided to write a short document that encourages the sorts of behaviors that contribute to success in the work world. Each day I post another letter of the alphabet (yes in order) with the accompanying explanation of the idea. My goal throughout my time as a supervisor was to leave things better than when I found them. This list addressing attitudes is my final attempt. I am only here including the short titles. If you wish for more explanation, you will have to ask me in some format. You are welcome.
