I slow down to allow traffic in from on-ramps and other lanes ___ ___ 3. I place my shopping cart to the side of the aisle so others can pass ___ ___ 4. I look behind me at the check-out lane to allow the person with very few items to go ahead of me ___ ___ 5. I return the shopping cart to the return area ___ ___ 6. I place the plastic separator wand behind my groceries on the conveyer belt so the person behind me can start placing their groceries on the belt ___ ___ 7.When going to a restaurant, I shut off my cell phone ___ ___ 8. I recognize the bus personnel by thanking them for their assistance ___ ___ 9. I make sure I have enough money on me to cover my portion of the bill ___ ___ 10. At the office, I answer my phone with enthusiasm in my voice ___ ___ 11. I never use the speakerphone unless I ask the caller's permission ___ ___ 12. At the golf course, I call to determine if they have a dress code ___ ___ 13. When flying, I respect the regulation of the amount and size of carry-ons ___ ___ 14. I look behind me before reclining my seat in the airplane ___ ___ 15. I am respectful of the arm rest space on the airplane ___ ___ If you answered 12 out of 15 "Agree", you are what companies are seeking. If you answered 7-11 out of 15 "Agree", you have potential. You might consider hiring an executive coach to teach you how to be nicer. If you answered less than 7 "Agree", don't work with people. Don't get into management and screw up another company.
