How good someone is at the job can be measured in different ways.

There are good job references, a promotion and a lot of praise from the manager.

But can you also tell from behavior that you have a really good employee and colleague in front of you?

Psychologists and management experts say yes, according to GQ magazine.

Among other things, the following

three peculiarities should

indicate that you are dealing with a capable colleague:

Postpone tasks:
Do you procrastinate?
It doesn't have to mean that you are lazy.
Another common explanation for putting off tasks is simply waiting for the right inspiration.
According to GQ, procrastination is synonymous with creativity - a quality that many geniuses have.
Maintaining chaos on the desk
: who is the better employee - the one with order or the one with chaos on the office desk? Definitely the latter, as psychologist Kathleen Vohs from the University of Minnesota found out. This was shown in an experiment with 48 test persons who were asked to consider what other table tennis balls could be used for. 24 study participants had to master the task in a tidy place, the other 24 in a chaotic workplace. When it comes to the originality of the ideas, the test subjects from the Messy office were clearly superior, according to the Karrierebibel.de portal. Their solutions were more imaginative, more unusual, more adventurous. The experiment shows that chaos brings more creative ideas to light and unconventional approaches are taken, says Vohs.
Complain openly
: Your colleague has something to
complain
about in everything?
Not a good sign, in the worst case it destroys the work ethic of the others.
But what speaks for an employee is when they openly address problems.
According to the GQ portal, this shows that the colleague has a goal in mind and is not afraid to remove the stumbling blocks on the way to achieving this goal.
