Passionate - you care deeply about the work, the craft, and the people around you. This is more than a job to you.
Dedicated - you show up fully every day. When things get hard-and they will-you stay engaged.
Thorough - details matter. You don't hand something off or close it out until it's done right.
Respectful - you treat the owner, the sub, the laborer, and everyone in between with respect. It's not situational here-it's the standard.
