"Last week, I noticed that my manager had not completed the schedule for the following week. Some of the staff complained that they didn't have their work schedule yet. Rather than going to my manager with the complaint, I offered to take on some of her workload so she would have the time to complete the schedule. We worked together for a couple of overtime hours that day and were able to catch her up on everything. It felt good to help but also benefited me by way of organization."

"Several weeks ago, my company announced a competition between the stores in our district - whichever location sold the most of a specific product would win a bonus for each sales associate. My team was determined to win the competition. We brainstormed ideas to sell as much of the product as we could. I volunteered to create displays to attract the customers' attention. I even walked up and down our store entrance wearing a signboard to advertise the product during slow periods. But our hard work paid off. The store manager just announced last week that our store won the contest!"
