“When you’re a self-starter, others don’t have to be a crank.”

- Unknown

Being known as a “self-starter” at work is so very, very valuable. It’s a trait that surely makes you a “keeper.” First, it’s so rare. Second, it’s a sure sign you are fully “engaged” in your work. Third, it shows you have the “fire in your belly” that brands an employee as “surely headed upward.” It’s perhaps one of the most important steps toward true job security.
