The Black Belt Attitude: Being a Proactive Team Player

The Black Belt Attitude: Being a Team Player

At home or in the office, if you see something that needs to be done, do you go ahead and do it even if it is someone else’s job?

If you see the trash is running over, do you empty it or do you leave it for someone else?

At home or in the office, if you see dirty cups in the sink, do you wash them and put them away or leave it for someone else?

If you see a co-worker is snowed under and you are finished with your project, do you offer to help your co-worker?

You know the difference of someone taking advantage of you and don’t allow that, but with the Black Belt Attitude, you do whatever you see that needs to be done.

You never wait to be asked because you believe that everyday tasks, at home and in the workplace, are a team effort and you are a team player.

Adopting the Black Belt Attitude means taking initiative and supporting your team, both at home and in the workplace. This mindset involves handling tasks that need attention, even if they are outside your usual responsibilities. Whether it’s emptying the trash, washing dirty cups, or assisting a snowed-under co-worker, a Black Belt always steps up without waiting to be asked. This proactive approach fosters a team-oriented environment, preventing feelings of being taken advantage of while promoting collaboration and efficiency.
