It is not important for marketers to have excellent leadership, teamwork, and interpersonal skills, but it is important for marketers to display productive behaviour in the workplace. Ashely Zeckman mentions in her blog 5 Tips for Marketers to Change Bad Habits and Increase Productivity, that productivity starts with eliminating bad habits that distract us from getting our work done in the workplace. It first starts with identifying bad habits, then working to slowly change those bad habits. An example would be reducing the amount of time one spends checking one’s email or Facebook account to twice a day instead of every hour. By doing this, a worker increases the amount of time they have to accomplish certain tasks.

Ashley Zeckman also states that one must not make too many changes at once as it might be overwhelming, which may lead not making any modifications in one’s lifestyle. An individual could start doing small changes such as arriving 10 minutes earlier to work or bringing packed meals to work instead of buying fast food. If these changes are constantly repeated, bad habits can be transformed into good habits. It is important not only for marketers to develop good life habits, but also for everyone in the workplace. If the workplace is filled with workers that display good habits then productivity is most likely to occur.

As a marketing student, I develop good working habits by getting things done right away, and not leaving everything to the last minute. I aim to bring a pro-active and positive attitude in the workplace in order to innovate my workers to develop new ideas for the company, and to accomplish tasks.
