The mindset of learning continuously, being kind and thinking of the team and company as a whole instead of competing with others, and being willing to be involved in many different areas so that you meet lots of people and leave an impact.

Hello Stefan,
I think that a positive attitude is one of the most important attributes in one person, caring about the others and showing that you're interested in their day to day (but don't be invasive). With these, you will stand out not only in your job but in your environment.
Have a great weekend!

Learn your craft well. Be confident in your "package." Differentiate your self from others (i.e. become a subject matter expert in a particular aspect of your job). Continue to learn on the job, as technical careers are always evolving.

All very useful answers above. Further I would like to add that being ready to change (often), being resilient and flexible, happy to unlearn, being collaborative and happy to embrace diversity of people and ideas would definitely help you to become a winner. Telecom is a very dynamic world. Product and technologies change very fast. Organisation structures and roles change frequently too. One has to be a change leader. We also fail at times (while trying/experimenting) which is ok. Important is to be flexible and resilient, unlearn, try new things with the same determination and succeed. Being not too attached to our own ideas and giving equal chance to others by active listening and collaborating also helps to create more innovation and succeed more.
Hope this was useful, wishing all success.

To flourish at an organization like Nokia, I would add here that teamwork is the most critical aspect that one should aim to excel in. It's important to understand that when you work in a team, where are the opportunities to collaborate, lead, learn, and grow? Also, learning about various cultures helps a lot when working in a team. As a global player in Telecom, Nokia provides a unique opportunity to work with very talented people from across the world. Having an understanding of each other's culture can significantly enhance collaboration.
Apart from that, as mentioned in previous answers as well that continuous learning is a must as technology and businesses keep evolving. There can be various directions in which your career can grow inside Nokia. To achieve your goals, you have to be an active learner not only about technical skills but also about the business goals of the organization to envision where you want to go.
