A mix of hustle and problem-solving.

  • You make things happen, instead of waiting for them to happen to you.

    In short, being a proactive person is a mix of hustle and problem-solving.

  • We trust you. You intend to cause change rather than react to it. We appreciated how motivated you are and how you take charge.

Do


  • Be ready with a plan of action prior to needing it.

  • Think beyond the short term.

  • Find and address failures and risks.

Don’t


  • Move on to the next thing, before you are finished with the last.

  • Tackle the "Nice to Haves" before tackling the "Need to Haves".

  • Invent problems for an artificial win.
