WEBVTT 00:00.720 --> 00:04.000 What is clearly important for a future manager 00:04.080 --> 00:07.640 is to be enthusiastic and proactive. You need 00:08.140 --> 00:11.680 to have a drive and desire for change and improvement and 00:12.180 --> 00:15.640 you need to highlight this desire by your actions. As you 00:16.140 --> 00:19.520 already discussed in Finding gaps and using Career Framework 00:19.760 --> 00:23.320 Finding and fixing obvious issues Proposing better 00:23.820 --> 00:27.940 solutions is the great way to the top, but so is proactiveness. 00:28.420 --> 00:31.540 There are two types of appear 00:31.620 --> 00:34.580 to be busy and implement new solutions. 00:35.140 --> 00:38.900 You know when employee is just making funny comments or 00:39.400 --> 00:43.260 joking all the time or sending funny gifs in the chat commenting in every 00:43.760 --> 00:47.380 thread with actually zero value. This is not kind of practice 00:47.880 --> 00:51.780 we are discussing here. It is about the useful one when you create 00:51.860 --> 00:55.510 value by being proactive.
