Tenacity : When someone hands you an idea or task, you’re ready to make sure it gets done. You proactively take care of needs and issues when you find them.

You are willing to support others in getting their work done.

Dedication : You don’t see your work as a job. You see it as a mission to be a part of. You put your all into what you do, making sure your team and guests have an exceptional experience.
