We have all been at a point in our lives where our attitude changed our situation. Imagine being in the middle of a test and feeling like you were failing the whole way through. Chances are your attitude may have affected your outcome.
The same goes for your career. How you interact with the people you work around can make impact on your profession and in your everyday life.
The folks that make the biggest impact in work and life? Difference makers. These are the people that fundamentally add to and shape organizational culture.
Here are the things they do that set them apart.
They Love What They Do
Difference makers have bad days too. What sets them apart is the passion they bring to their work, even in tough moments.
They love what they do, and more importantly, love the people they work with and for.
These folks see patients not as burdens, but people who have their own unique needs. Then, they set out to meet those needs.
They Have a Bigger Perspective
It can be tough to stop the negativity of others, but difference makers do their best not to fuel the fire by stepping away from gossip and complaining.
They recognize that negative conversations breed more negativity, not solutions.
They aren’t afraid to confront negativity, by offering a different perspective. They challenge others to think beyond how things impact them individually, and instead focus on the group.
They Understand Relationship
Difference makers are in the business of caring for people. They know that solid relationships built on trust are what move organizational goals forward.
They know people need to be heard and validated. They consistently display this compassionate care, not just to patients, but co-workers as well.
Are You a Difference Maker?
You are in control of your career environment and interactions. Positivity can breed benefits such as leadership positions, new friendships, better mental health, and better patient care.
But, beyond that success, there’s a great opportunity to have lasting impact on the people around you. You truly have ability to change lives in a myriad of way, but simply making the decision to be a difference maker.
