You do not wait around, but pick up tasks, take initiative, and address colleagues in a pleasant manner regarding outstanding actions. When the situation changes, you look for a workable solution with a practical mindset. You keep an eye on the people around you, stimulate cooperation, and bring energy and humor to the group even during busy moments.
