Me to a tee. Many times out of the gate I suck ass, but improve exponentially and quickly and I never settle for mediocre quality- my data analysis and solutions usually go unchallenged by the clients. It has to be useful, and as clean as possible, none of this last minute 'good enough' stuff that plagues middle management.
I routinely get compared to The Energizer Bunny and Rocky Balboa and had bosses tell me to go home- cuz their afraid
their bosses will say something about
them not working too hard- especially when they know my work by it's traits.
'Aggressive, consistent and persistent'- is my boilerplate answer during those dumb HR Mandated 'personal growth' questionnaires we get pelted with annually.
It's an attitude that has served me well. I deal with clients as a lead analyst for a consulting company- I get the biggest newest projects (that no one understands) and get to oversee my company's end of the work-cuz they know I'll break my back to deliver once the bigwigs have sold it. No calling in sick, no last minute poorly designed trash, no drama, and I (try to) look the part of a professional.
I fool 'em good!
