Empower those around them

Real standout employees are the ones that make everyone around them better.

• If it’s a standout manager or leader, this means developing and nurturing the talent that reports to them.
• If it’s a junior or entry-level employee, this involves uplifting and inspiring peers they collaborate with regularly.

This component leans more on an individual’s emotional intelligence. Standout employees are able to empathize with the people they work alongside.
