Highly competent and dedicated colleagues

We've all worked alongside colleagues who don't pull their weight. People who take extra long lunches or frequent smoke breaks, call in sick far too often, never seem to deliver results (let alone on time), and yet nobody else seems to take notice.

But let's not talk about the co-workers who drag us down or make us have to work twice as hard. No, let's talk about the rare, but worth-their-weight-in-gold ones who display that dream-team combo of extreme competence and dedication.

Whether they are part of your immediate team or part of your broader organization, you recognize these individuals for their incredible contributions. Amazingly, these same colleagues are often the ones who have great personalities, display a surprising dose of modesty and hold themselves to positive work ethics.

I consider myself fortunate to work with some of these gems and I've been blessed in the past by having mentors who shone by example. Thank you! Consider yourselves dubbed...

AWESOME!
