How do you Achieve your Goals?

1. Shortly before the end of your normal work day, your supervisor surprises you with an urgent additional task. How do you react?

Once again, you prove that your boss can rely on you one hundred percent, and you dig into the assignment.
You accept the assignment but hint politely that you expect overtime pay.
You actually have an appointment, but you donât know how to tell your boss this. As a favor, you complete part of the assignment that evening.
In a friendly but firm manner, you tell your boss that you will tackle the assignment first thing tomorrow morning.
You are highly motivated because your boss assigns the task to you, and you immediately begin working on it.

2. By chance, you overhear a colleague being praised for work you did. What do you do?

You decide to wait for a quiet moment to talk to your colleague so that you can clear up the matter privately.
You donât hesitate for a moment. You enter the conversation and make it clear that the achievement was yours.
You are upset. You resolve to tell your boss the truth at the next opportunity and to give your colleague a piece of your mind.
You tell yourself not to panic because your boss knows all about your abilities.
You think that the main thing is your boss will take everything into account when he or she reviews your salary.

3. Your colleagues organize a group time at the health club and suggest you came along. How do you react?

You briefly think about it, but you decide on a course in a foreign language you had wanted to learn for a long time.
You tell them you regularly visit the health club with your friends.
You politely decline the suggestion because you spend most of your time with your colleagues anyhow.
You think youâll learn important news and information outside the office, and you agree.
You agree because you like the idea of doing something together.

4. Your boyfriend/girlfriend calls you at the office and wants to make a date with you. You actually still have work to do. What do you say?

"I could come, but do you have a nice surprise for me?"
"I canât tonight, but Iâll reserve a table at our favorite Italian restaurant for tomorrow night"
"I want to go out with a female/male colleague after work to have a glass of wine. It wonât take long. Why donât you join us a little later?"
"If I stop working right now, the mountain of work will even be higher by tomorrow morning. Why donât you pick me up in two hours?"
"Iâm working on an important project. Why donât you call me tomorrow?"

5. You've been offered a promotion that will require more commitment from you. You think:

"Iâll cancel my vacation, but I wonât work on weekends under any circumstances."
"What a great opportunity! I can finally prove what I can do."
"This is the perfect occasion to celebrate with my colleagues."
"Wow! More money and more prestige. What more could I want?"
My efforts were rewarded after all. Competence and achievement speak for themselves.

6. The company party is next week. Making the right impression with your clothes is important. What will you wear?

You borrow an expensive jacket from your friend to give you an exclusive flair.
Your wardrobe is well supplied for all occasions. You decide on an outfit that will complement your personality.
You decide on understatement and deliberately dress down. You accent the look with accessories.
You like to be trendy and decide on the newest style.
You choose a classical suit. In your opinion, a company function requires a conservative appearance.

7. You are planning your next vacation. Which would you choose?

A vacation with friends at a resort so that youâll have plenty to do.
An organized trip that includes cultural opportunities because you prefer to learn something as you vacation.
A vacation for two in a rented country house because you need a private atmosphere in order to relax.
An invitation from your new friend because he or she truly offers everything.
A trek through the Himalayas because you want to try something new.
