http://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/the-8-qualities-of-remarkable-employees.html?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=socialmedia&utm_campaign=button2. Theyre eccentric... The best employees are often a little different: quirky, sometimes irreverent, even delighted to be unusual. They seem slightly odd, but in a really good way. Unusual personalities shake things up, make work more fun, and transform a plain-vanilla group into a team with flair and flavor.
People who aren't afraid to be different naturally stretch boundaries and challenge the status quo, and they often come up with the best ideas.

They speak when others wont. Some employees are hesitant to speak up in meetings. Some are even hesitant to speak up privately.
An employee once asked me a question about potential layoffs. After the meeting I said to him, Why did you ask about that? You already know what's going on. He said, I do, but a lot of other people don't, and they're afraid to ask. I thought it would help if they heard the answer from you.
Remarkable employees have an innate feel for the issues and concerns of those around them, and step up to ask questions or raise important issues when others hesitate.

It's always important to be out there and let people know you're taking a pro-active stance in whatever you're doing. Let your co-workers and boss know that you're an innovative and creative person by speaking up when the occasion is appropriate.

I'm lucky - I find it very easy to speak up. I hope that by doing so I can also show the folks around me that it helps, it works, and it's not so scary.

(40 posts)4. Qualities that a remarkable employee Holds with themselves:)
Employees need to be more reliable, proactive, diligent, great leaders and a great followers as well.
As per my suggestion , every employee should hold on with them certain remarkable qualities including they should adapt according to the changing environment whether in regards with the market or business,they should be eccentric i.e; sometime they should hold on with the unconventional behavior, they should be praised publicly by their superiors as this enhances their performances.
