CHAPTER 12
DEMONSTRATE TRUST BEHAVIOR
The last and the most important mindset of a Contributor is 'Trust Behaviour'. The term may be described as character-in-action which includes keeping one's word and commitments, staying with a task, acting with integrity in every situation, making sure that there is complete transparency in one's actions and interactions, etc.
Contributors recognize that they are able to achieve results and make contributions with the help of other human beings. They receive this help if and only if they are trusted and, in turn, trust.
Therefore, Contributors practise trust behaviour from very early in their career, thereby building a huge trust balance (like a bank balance) over their career and relationships.

CHAPTER 11
PRACTISE IMAGINATIVE SYMPATHY
This chapter defines the unique quality of Contributors is their ability to appreciate and understand other's life situation, other's mental condition, and other's point of view.
They have consciously developed a 'way of thinking' called 'Imaginative Sympathy'. In this way of thinking, they are able to give due importance to the human aspects of a situation, and not just the technical or commercial aspects.
Imaginative Sympathy goes beyond looking at the human aspects of the situation. it also means that Contributors are able to anticipate possible interactions or reactions, they are able to take a multi-dimensional view of a situation and they are able to bring about changes or results while taking everybody along with them.

CHAPTER 10
THINK IN ENLIGHTENED SELF-INTEREST
This chapter think in Enlightened Self-interest. In every situation they get into, they find a way to create good for self and good for all at the same time - including team mates, bosses, customers, their organisation.
Contrast this with the mindset of a Non-Contributor. Such a person is only concerned with his / her own self-interest in a situation. He/She is not concerned about the impact (positive or negative) on the other person. This leads to unpleasant situations, broken relationships, unhappy team-mates, subordinates, and bosses, and lowers trust in any situation.

CHAPTER 9
ENGAGE DEEPLY
This chapter reflects the third aspect of Contributor's Mindset - approach to work.
Contributors are instantly distinguished by the way they approach work. They get involved. They are enthusiastic. They go deep into the subject.
Non-contributors usually do the activities they love to do - the approach seems reasonable until you realise that life and workplaces have so much variety that you may often be called upon to do tasks that seem unpleasant or boring until you get involved.

FOCUS ON VALUE
The second aspect of Contributor's mindset, along with finding solutions, is creating values while achieving the goal. Contributor creates values for self, for family, for the team, for the organisation, for customers and for the whole society - all the stakeholders in one's life.

This positive difference or impact can be in the form of achieving a specific goal, creating a product, creating a 'human touch' in a particular inteaction, or enhancing one's own capacity or the capacity of one's colleagues and team-mates.
They are result-focused, but the result is measured in terms of value created.

THE CONTRIBUTOR'S VISION OF CAREER
This chapter distinguishes the difference between Acquisitive Career and Contributive Career.

A contributive career is one where the career-seeker is focused on contributing, with rewards being a by product of the contributions made.

THE CONTRIBUTOR'S VISION OF SUCCESS
There are two kinds of success: One is External, another is Internal.
Contributors have a deeper and wider definition of success than Non-contributors.

CHAPTER 2
THE CONTRIBUTOR'S IDENTITY
This chapter introduces the reader with identity of Non-contributor and Contributor.
Both the identity define themselves differently.
Non- contributors usually define themselves in terms of what they have acquired in life (e.g. qualifications, position, years of experience, etc.). This is static identity, based on your past glories or past failures. This static identity leaves you trapped in history.
Contributors, on the other side define themselves in terms of what they will become or accomplish (e.g. capacity to deliver, commitment and ownership of the organisation's purpose, etc.). This is a dynamic identity based on your "being" and "becoming". Such an identity lets you choose to live a better future.
