Adam Durflinger is Intentionally Pursuing Growth

At Clickstop, to be responsible means…

  • Your coworkers know you are reliable, honest, and trustworthy.
  • You have an honest awareness of yourself, your relationships, and performance.
  • You are aware of how your attitude and emotions affect others.
  • You don’t offer excuses; you don’t accept them.
  • You reflect on your past performance; learning, improving and growing.
  • You know and utilize your strengths, and those of your team.

In Q3 of 2020, Adam Durflinger exemplified the behaviors associated with our ‘Responsible’ core trait.

Commitment and Follow Through

When something is delegated to Adam – aka Durf – you don’t have to worry if he will get it done or not. He is responsible in all aspects: timeliness, quality, and completion. If he says he will do it, he does it!

Durf also takes time to daily reflect on his performance. It’s about challenging himself to improve and grow each day, and refusing to offer or accept excuses. These behaviors were key to Adam D. exceeding Q3 expectations in the new SDC role. His self-discipline to execute on tasks, log notes, and make phone calls is driving results that have exceeded the goal.  Adam has also jumped in to assist with, and has made progress toward, winning some key accounts.

Adam, thank you for your commitment to great results and for responsibly pursuing it. We are pleased to recognize you as the Q3 2020 ‘Responsible’ award winner. Well done!

When receiving recognition from peers it motivates me and makes me set the bar higher for myself.
