Depending on where in the country you live, the summer months are either a reward for suffering through below zero temps and blizzards all winter (ahem, Chicago) or a brief punishment of 120-degree days for having beautiful, mild weather the other nine months of the year (we’re looking at you, Phoenix).

Sometimes, an individual’s soft skills or personal habits are a better indication of their aptitude and potential to succeed. If you can identify these common traits that successful employees share, you can find high-quality employees who will help your company thrive.

As a business grows, there will come a point where everything can’t be done by just one person. Sooner or later, the help of another employee is necessary to further the company’s success. Hiring your first employee can be a vague and daunting task. This action should be dealt with extra caution as it can be costly to commit to another person’s salary and benefits.

When I speak and write about mindfulness, the question I get most often is, “If I practice mindfulness, what does that get me?” I usually point to the growing body of research that demonstrates the results of mindfulness. I also tell people that when they are mindful, they are more present and aware, and this in turn supports the development of certain leadership skills and capabilities, such as attentive listening.

I consider it the collective mindset and attitude of your employees about what they do, which manifests itself in how they do things; in other words, their actions and behaviors. These behaviors manifest themselves in their interactions with your company, your customers, and other associates or staff.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of using personality assessments to provide insight in the workplace. Personality can be used to help match people to jobs they might enjoy, but it can also be used effectively to provide insight into how people see the world and how they might more easily interact with others who see it differently. Arguably, the most useful reports show how people with different personalities might see you and how you might see them.

Too often, corporate managers adopt an outdated approach to employee communications. Instead of conducting thoughtful conversations, senior leadership at many organizations simply rely on standard meetings, memos and presentations to engage with their teams. Although these channels are effective, they are hardly useful by themselves. Rather, companies need to make sure managers and executives listen just as much as they speak.
