Persistence

A quick definition

You take initiative and keep pushing until it's done.

In practice

When you take on a task, you see it through. You keep an eye on deadlines, work steadily and people know they can count on you. Hard tasks that need persistence don't scare you, they motivate you. You prefer to focus on one goal at a time and push on without distractions until you see the result.
