5. Work for Greater Good:

Great employees are not self-centered and work for the greater good of the employer. They tend to have a greater understanding of the needs of the company and accordingly mold their working style to maximize the performance.

6. Know How To Give And Receive Praises:

Greatest employees are the ones who are not overwhelmed by success or weighed down by failures. They are the ones who always remain on the ground, irrespective of triumph or disappointments and are aware of how to give and take praises.

Admire your peers for their contribution, and humbly receive the praises given by others.   

7. Handle Criticism:

In a tough job market where criticism is part and parcel of the game, being thick skinned and having the ability to convert criticism into pathways for success is likely to set you apart for the rest.
