They ask questions. They don't pretend to know it all. Like, you're 3 weeks into the job. You know you don't know. I know you don't know. Just be honest and ask good questions. Red flag for me is when I tell them to do something a certain way, they say sure and don't do it. Or they delay a meeting to get coffee. It's fine after 6 months or a year of working together, but not your first month.

IMO top performers are consistent from project to project. Lots of people will do a good job some of the time. Top performers do a good job all of the time.

Top performers are taking what they learn from one client to the next. Listen, take notes, ask questions. Take constructive criticism, don’t get defensive and don’t assume you know the most

You should compare them to other employees to determine if they are a top performer. I would look to see if they do a better job than their peers
