• Add energy to every conversation
• Ask why
• Find obsolete things on your task list and remove them
• Treat customers better than they expect
• Offer to help co-workers before they ask
• Feed the plants
• Leave things more organized than you found them
• Invent a moment of silliness
• Highlight good work from your peers
• Find other great employees to join the team
• Cut costs
• Help invent a new product or service that people really want
• Get smarter at your job through training or books
• Encourage curiosity
• Surface and highlight difficult decisions
• Figure out what didn't work
• Organize the bookshelf
• Start a club
